Sigh. > If anybody has an EPYC[1], SuSe has a srpm - but it doesn't apply to Ryzens, and the kerneli might need a patch because it had known nothing about Ryzen microcode and tests against an old default size (not sure which versions have that patch) - details at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56951
Clearly this is aimed at Spectre. I saw the kernel patch a while ago, which is why I was hopeful about microcode. But I don't even have a Ryzen so for me that part is academic. 1.
