AMD warns of new Meltdown, Spectre-style flaws in desktop and server CPUs
Actual security risk should be fairly low, though experts disagree
New attack methods work against Spectre mitigations in modern PC CPUs
Speculation barriers don't work as intended
Facepalm: Spectre-based flaws are still causing some security issues in recent Intel and AMD CPUs. A newly developed attack can bypass protection "barriers" OEMs added to avoid personal data leakage. However, microcode and system updates should already be available for affected systems.
