It does, it is called AMD PSP.
Like ME it is closed source and it can't be disabled - no matter what
people might claim.

AMD says they are releasing microcode updates for their previous
generation CPU's (Opteron, FX, etc) next week.
So much better than intel throwing older CPU owners to the wolves.
In terms of what CPU to get - I would get either an AMD G34/C32 Opteron
(pre-PSP) with a compatible libre firmware b

I was planning to replace two of my PCs with Ryzen, but that plan was in
place before Meltdown happened. At least then I'll be able to get

I have a less-two-old N3700 CPU on a Asrock N3700-ITX board that (was)is

Asrock said nothing about the microcode/bios update and I asked for

I have several sandy/ivybridge CPU's and I was wondering if anyone knows
as to if intel is releasing microcode updates for them.
It sure would be funny if intel wanted you to buy a new CPU to fix a
problem that was their fault to begin with.
