Anyone know if this chip addresses speculative execution exploits eg Meltdown?

  Not the answer you're looking for but Meltdown specifically has never affected AMD.

    Yeah my question was bad, was looking for Spectre

  They don't, because AMD is not affected by it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerability) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerabili...

    Spectre

  From the article: The other big box to check is Spectre mitigations are now rolled in to the core but Meltdown and L1TF/Foreshadow are not. Why? Because AMD wasn’t affected by either one and never will be. Patching can work but to be immune from the start is always a better choice.

    Meant Spectre.
