@BleepingComputer where da AMD bois at?! C'mon, let's hear y'all bash AMD like y'all bash Intel now!

seriously though, this just proves BOTH major CPU manufacturers are ignoring long term security concerns for short term market gains.

it's literally a win win for them because they have a monopoly on the market together. what are you gonna do, go buy a RISC or ARM? good luck finding supported hardware/software. guess you're just going to buy the next gen "x" that has "no vulnerabilities".
