Numerous vulnerabilities in AMD processors

This smear attack is already backfiring spectacularly. The news that someone's defeated the PSP only makes me *more* interested in buying a Ryzen now.

Previously, and paradoxically, you had to buy an *Intel* if you wanted an x86 that's so pitifully insecure that there were trivial automated white-hat tools to remove its known backdoors (me-cleaner etc.). The AMD PSP was considered airtight enough to be an actual threat to security (no user serviceable parts, but still IoT-on-a-chip garbage) but now the cat's been let out of the bag, there'll likely be enough eyeballs on the hardware to fix the problem.
