Unfortunately for me the hit on amd stock wasn’t big enough… it’s still going but I was expecting a price of 10 not 11.5+
If it was intended to depress their stock, they went about it the wrong way. Immediate disclosure of a half-dozen low-criticality vulnerabilities won’t cut it. What they should have done is spread FUD for a couple weeks, putting up a big scary apocalyptic “coming soon” website, and hinted at oncoming doom widely everywhere.
If ARM counts now, what would have stopped MIPS, PPC, Alpha, SPARC, etc. from counting in the past?

Short sellers.
They made a rookie mistake.
AMD is plagued by day-traders and algorithms who couldn’t give a damn about the fundamentals.
I suspect this backfired because the damn stocks increased.

We’re likely going to see a lawsuit by AMD and a investigation.

I call those predictions. Btw judging by how its going the stock may hit 12.5 soon.
Dammit! now it won’t!
First rule of stock trends: don’t talk about stock trends.

“The Chimera exploit focuses on the Promontory chipset, and hidden manufacturer backdoors that allow for remote code execution. CTS-Labs cites that ASMedia, the company behind the chipset, has been fallen foul of the FTC due to security vulnerabilities in its hardware.”
Can anyone help me find a record of these transgressions by ASMedia that the FTC has noted?

The vulns aren’t necessarily false, they could very well be real problems. Just very low criticality ones, as currently presented.
I can’t… I always thought ASMedia was in good standing. I’ll talk to my legal guy.

For fun lets imagine if a Stock trader learned from meltdown and got together with a security firm to find/create some news for his own profit?
Then spin minor/ambiguous/vague security issues into a big story for gains 
Quotes from Anandtech
CTS-Labs is very forthright with its statement, having seemingly pre-briefed some press at the same time it was notifying AMD, and directs questions to its PR firm.
The full whitepaper can be seen here, at safefirmware.com, a website registered on 6/9 with no home page and seemingly no link to CTS-Labs. Something doesn’t quite add up here.

There are usually are more grumblings by the technically inclined beforehand but New Amd stuff. Thanks for your input.
Found this article curious.
Rumors and articles like this have a habit of popping up at certain times. I’m not sure what the pattern is, it’s just interesting since AMD is well known as having die trying attitude.
A sale/buyout is as unlikely as nvidia licensing AMD tech.
