During AMD's last earnings call, the company has revealed several interesting informations. First of all, the GPU production is going to be ramped up to meet demand although memory shortages are slowing things down a bit. After that, AMD wants fix Spectre in Zen 2 architecture.



A few days ago, Intel has announced that it's already preparing new CPUs with changes that will address the Spectre security flaw. Since during next months we should see Intel Z390 chipset, we expect to find Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs with security changes. AMD will be doing the same with Zen 2. According to the last information, AMD should roll out new Ryzen processors based on Zen+ later this year.

After that AMD will start working on Zen 2 which will be AMD's first 7nm CPU model. AMD's current processors aren't particularly vulnerable to Spectre or Meltdown, Intel is more affected on this side. On AMD the exploit is more difficult and the current processors are suseptible to one variant of Spectre bug. According to AMD, the company will do changes at the silicon and microcode levels in order to never see this issue again.
