Given that AMD is fully vulnerable to Spectre, there's absolutely no reason to believe it isn't similarly vulnerable to microarchitectural detail leakage if people were to look. And going back to what I was replying to:
> we are talking about one company that made egregious engineering decisions to maintain their market leadership which has put their customers at risk
We demonstrably aren't, seeing as how ARM, and IBM, both POWER and mainframe/Z CPUs are also vulnerable to Meltdown. That and the significant prevalence of Spectre says this is not "typical Intel" but "typical industry", a blind spot confirmed in 7 different companies, and 8 teams to the extent the IBM lines are done by different people.
The "Intel is uniquely evil" trope simply doesn't hold water.
