New 4056892 Update and AMD-Powered PC's
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01...powered_p cs/
Microsoft’s fix for the Meltdown and Spectre bugs may be crocking AMD-powered PCs. If you have an AMD cpu, it could be worth reading. Buffalo4

While I don't use an AMD laptop (since they're not adequate for gaming yet), I have to point out that I'm a big fan of their APU and that if you don't want to spend more than $1k on a portable, you can't go wrong with an A8 or an A10.

Or is this the ultimate air gap ? Seems to be limited to Athlon CPUs which, shockingly, are still being used. Kudos to anyone who still runs an Athlon or Athlon XP-based machine.

Windows Kernel, === Meltdown plus regular monthly kernel exploit (other) Windows Datacenter Networking, === SMB??? Windows Graphics, === regular monthly GDI exploit (keeps company with regular kernel patch) Microsoft Edge, === Spectre (JIT Javascript?) Internet Explorer, === Spectre (JIT Javascript?) and the Microsoft Scripting Engine. === Spectre (JIT Javascript?) Purely a guess (because Microsoft won't explain it), Paul

The AMD issue is valid, yet not all AMD chipsets and mobo combinations appear to be impacted. The problem has also appeared with the January CPU patch for AMD chipsets on Windows Insider builds and reported via the Windows Insiders Feedback app. -- ...w msft mvp windows experience 2007-2016, insider mvp 2016-2018

I wonder _which_ Athlons they're referring to. There's Athlon, Athlon XP and apparently some newer form I never got to use. I can't imagine that all of them are affected.
