Yeah, they've blasted back at Intel, yet have changed their tune a tad to effectively admit that there could be a problem. The more I read about this then all the more disturbing it is becoming.

As Ted aptly indicates, gamers are likely not to feel the full wrath of this issue regarding the slowing down of their computers after patching, whenever that will happen, but as the above linked article strongly suggests: AMD is far from being out of the clear yet. Most troubling thing to me is that Intel is basically clamming up about this extreme vulerability... and other articles published today indicate this "speculative execution" security problem effectively includes
all Intel processors going back 20 years or more.
May have picked the wrong day to have finally decided just what my next flight-simming computer build will be after weeks of researching. May drag my feet another week or two and see what happens.
