Must have sent the wrong one

Intel, ARM and AMD all affected by 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' security-bypassing CPU design flaws

You have the wrong title. At your link, it says:

“Intel, ARM and AMD all affected by security-bypassing, kernel-bothering CPU bugs”

The article never states or implies Meltdown applies to AMD, no matter how many times you keep saying otherwise.

Okie, the problem is that your link does not represent what the Inquirer.net's headline actually states. Here is the actual headline:

Intel, ARM and AMD all affected by security-bypassing, kernel-bothering CPU bugs

Their headline is accurate, your link headline is not. If you had summarized it by using "Meltdown" OR "Spectre" that would have been closer to accurate. By using "AND" you imply that Meltdown impacts AMD and ARM processor CPU designs when that is not at all true. On the other hand, Spectre does impact all three makes of processors.
