Just throwing it out there - the researcher said "he strongly suspects that AMD CPUs are also impacted."

I hope someone who isn't as incapable as me will try to make it work there. It seems Intel is always the primary target since it has a much greater market share, but if we want to consider AMD the safer x86 alternative we should actually check their CPUs too :)

So instead of testing it, researcher just speculated.

I'm also curious if IBM's POWER9 architecture is effected. They actually do 4-way SMT.
