The timing of this vulnerability release is hilarious. AMD had their financial analyst conference on Thursday afternoon. The stock rallied after market hours and ended positive on Friday while everything else tanked along with the US economy. That’s how good of a bet AMD is right now.

Also the release does not quality as a new vulnerability vector like Spectre, just a new attack against a previously mitigated vulnerability. It honestly looks to me like anattempt to stop the AMD momentum.
FD: The fastest processor I own is a 16 core Xeon, and is great. However, I have invested in AMD stock over the last year. I have a lot of respect for Intel engineering, but the AMD roadmap just looks stronger between now and 2022.
