Very disappointing. AMD really isn't taking this serious. Since power consumption is really important for me, and my PC is often idling (so either live with freezes or accept even higher power consumption), this really means no AMD. Especially since their Threadripper next gen is supposed to use an older Epyc core, not even Zen+. And since they're not taking this seriously, my guess is Zen 2 next year will still be buggy. Way to go AMD.

And with Intel just getting hit with another Spectre round, I guess their fixes will slow their CPU's down even slower than my old non patched Sandy Bridge.

*grumble*

Oh well, this is one way to get upgraditis cured I guess.
