Since there is relatively little AMD running, you would expect relatively little investment in attacking it.

The attacks are being attempted. AMD just didn't screw up as badly.

Trying Intel attacks on AMD just in case is cheap and easy, and in this case fruitless. It doesn’t shed any light on how much effort is being put into finding AMD’s own specific screw ups.
