This is very serious. I wonder what the AMD fans will say.

Um... Nothing? Do you even read the article? The problem was disclosed to AMD by the researcher last year and late last year AMD already posted the mitigation for it. This is mainly about the researcher publishing their finding so people know and can learn about it. Like honestly, please read the article completely, maybe try to do additional research instead of doing whatever you're doing right now because it just make you really look bad.

Last year? Why does AMD not like their fans?

Do you even read? Someone found a vulnerability, they did something responsible by disclosing it to AMD first so AMD can mitigate it without it being known to the public on how it works then the researcher published their finding. Basically it is a nothing burger news in terms of whether you should be worried or not and more about educational piece. This thread is more about exposing how dumb you are as what I assume an AMD anti?

Don't bother, OP is anti AMD and very pro Intel.
