odd how when intel have cpu security issues the whole internet lights up like a christmas tree but when amd screw up its all kept under the rug lol.
there will always be some flaw getting found out but lets hope as you say it doesnt impact performance. amd just back tracked an update due to it disabling cores so that was a major performance hit.

So true!
We would have been on page 50 by now had this been intel 
Don't forget though, amd are a charity and the white knight for pc gamers
Caporegime
I thought AMD CPUs were invulnerable?
amd marketing seems to be doing a bang up job.

"Kept under the rug"... by being reported on one of the largest hardware news sites on the internet? Both AMD and Intel (and just about every other major hardware and software vendor) "quietly" lists CVEs the same way on a regular basis. "Quietly" in this context being "publically published for anyone to view" of course, but let's not let facts get in the way of clickbait headlines implying underhandedness. There's also the fact that there's just not much in these disclosures for the average desktop user to care about. The only desktop Ryzen chips affected are Zen+ CPUs and 5000-series APUs (and the latter only by a single CVE). There's also zero indication at this point that any mitigations will have an impact on performance.
Weird thread really, with a bunch of people trying to show how fair and balanced they are by signal boosting a story that they didn't read past the headline.

The issue isn't the vulnerabilities it's if the manufacturers release an update bios to counter said vulnerabilities.... with AMD being more popular these days, more people will be testing AMD chips for issues.
MSI currently have the same 'beta' bios out since 6+ months ago (around the ftpm stutter bios fix) for my motherboard.... I won't hold my breath on an update for my b550 board...
Having said that... most of those vulnerabilities look like the user needs direct access to the pc so...

Can you stop ruining the weird circle jerk please.

Weird really sums up some of these subsections over the last 20+ years, people with raging boners for tech companies that want their cash has always bemused me.
Agree, I find it just as equally hilarious how amd can do no wrong and if something isn't quite as good or they do mess up, they're given a pass because people have this weird fixation that they are the "white knights for customers", I mean just look at this thread, hardly any posts, meanwhile when intel was having cpu security issues brought up, was a new thread created all the time which would explode:
Yet another Intel CPU security vulnerability!
Wow - another one incoming. This time using shared cache accessed via DDIO to obtain keystrokes from other processes/applications/sessions. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/09/weakness-in-intel-chips-lets-researchers-steal-encrypted-ssh-keystrokes/ Clever hack, and...
