We recommend reading our post on All modern processors are susceptible to the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities
AMD initially said its processors are not susceptible to any of the three variants of the Specter vulnerability, including Meltdown, which is the most serious of all and affects only Intel. Later, AMD confirmed that its processors are immune to Meltdown but that they are susceptible to Specter variant three, the least serious of all. He also said that this vulnerability is very complicated to exploit since hackers would have to adapt their malware to the type of attack and also to the specific hardware on which it will be executed.
