Users flock to AMD.
Is AMD really better? I suspect it is the same garbage as Intel.
AMD's price:performance is compelling right now, and enjoying underdog rising.
It's seen less of the exploit parade than Intel has lately. That doesn't mean AMD is any better regarding potential vulnerabilities.
Given that AMD (and Intel, IBM, ARM, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc) are all closed HW garbage, there are surely entire classes and vast mounds of garbage waiting within them to be security advisoried and exploited, were they only to be opened up. They have refused to do that for longer than most users have been alive.
So at this point, people would be better off ignoring them, and coming together to create something new for the world...
#OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenAudit
That will be compelling to userbase and markets, a new class of open underdogs rising.
I vote for grarpamp and Juan as #OpenAudit inspector generals :)
