Except they just said this attack is virtually impossible (certainly hasn't been demonstrated) on AMD. So I interpret this as general advice.

- noncoml 9y agoIs the JS PoC for Spectre not applicable to AMD then?
- molyss 9y agoI think Spectre and the JS PoC are actually the ones applicable to any modern processors (including AMDs, ARMs and probably most other chip vendors). Looks like the mitigations for these will be directly included in the browser. EDIT : I don't even think we know of a way to fix Spectre in the kernel...

- ibotty 9y agoNo, that's only for variant two. Spectre is also variant one.
- jpatokal 9y agoThere are 3 attacks, two of which AMD claims to be immune/virtually immune to, and one which they do admit to being applicable.
