I would not be surprised if this was just fake news to get people to dump their old PC’s.

Meanwhile, I’m all AMD except for one old Pentium recording studio computer that never sees the internet. So I’m good...

Some newer reports are starting to include AMD in the mix too.

Not completely, RW. Your OK with the Meltdown Intel issue, but the Spectre problem affects Intel, AMD, and ARM processors. Check to make sure your current anti-virus is watching for Spectre for AMD.
