Spectre affects AMD, too, so there's no competitor to run to... and CERT was saying at one point that only new processors would fully fix it. They're looking at everyone needing to buy a bunch of replacement products, aren't they?

Spectre v2 affects AMD less drastically than it does with Intel, because of the architectural differences between Zen and Intel's processors.
