    AMD says it's not affected. From researcher re AMD being affected: “Spectre works super reliably on AMD. We wrote that in the paper and on the website.” https://www.forbes.com/...

    Official AMD response shows that they _are_ susceptible to at least some of these variants, so again, Intel's response was *not* dishonest, just cleverly crafted. This is a design-level issue affecting many, many chip vendors. https://twitter.com/...

    Here's AMD claiming it's not affected and Google VERY SPECIFICALLY saying it is. Turns out we're all screwed. pic.twitter.com/0GGktFC5hw
