crazy about these #amd security flaws in #ryzen and #epyc ! the 24-hour notice they were given is super weird and I'm really hoping this isn't funded by #intel or something. before #meltdown and #spectre were made public, both companies were given like 200 days or something...24-hours is unprecedented, so there really has to be something to it. if they are legit, good to get it out in the public so AMD has to acknowledge / fix / whatever, but that timing!

I know this is just a reddit post, but it has links to lots of seemingly legit stuff saying this was put out by a company trying to manipulate AMD's stock price. Maybe try to get the stock to drop, buy big on the dip...and hope to make killer quick short while the stock recovers? Glad NVIDIA and Intel don't seem to be involved!
