Nice to know that security researchers are giving AMD some love too. Ill be sure to turn the patch off on my 3600 once it rolls around (can’t be losing any frames for something silly like security)

That's a very bad idea.

The bad news is that the exploit doesn't require physical hardware access and can be triggered by loading JavaScript on a malicious website.
