I think you should interpret this as saying that there is a part of that specific exploit implementation which AMD cpus have not implemented. But keep in mind, also, that the exploit involves multiple hardware components (not only sloppy cpu instruction scheduling but shoddy power management interacting with cheap dynamic ram refresh). Of course, I have also misused my adjectives here. The cpu scheduling is just wonderful, the power management is professional and the memory implementation is beyond high tech. Sales people are omniscient and thus have good reason for ... ah, ... never mind. I'm going to go crawl back under my rock. Good luck, -- Raul
