Chris on a number of articles I read they are saying AMD's are not

That's only 1 of the 3 attacks to my understanding. The Spectre paper
says:
# Hardware. We have empirically verified the vulnerability of several

According to several articles I read today:
Meltdown (1 exploit)is Intel-specific
Spectre (2 different exploits) affects just about every processor on
the planet.
