That article links a commit [1] that contradicts this statement > AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel page table isolation feature protects against. The AMD microarchitecture does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode when that access would result in a page fault. And Axios [2] that Zdnet quotes gave a comment from AMD: > "To be clear, the security research team identified three variants targeting speculative execution. The threat and the response to the three variants differ by microprocessor company, and AMD is not susceptible to all three variants. Due to differences in AMD's architecture, we believe there is a near zero risk to AMD processors at this time. We expect the security research to be published later today and will provide further updates at that time." And a comment from ARM: > Please note that our Cortex-M processors, which are pervasive in low-power, connected IoT devices, are not impacted.
