Career on the line? Yes, but I don't think that you mean what someone else will read in that comment.But some of us in the know watch this stuff with a career on the line.
AMD is gaining in retail, but not so much in OEM and business markets. They move pretty slow there, which in my opinion means that, professionals who setup hundred or thousands of systems for employees, still bet their job on the big name, Intel, no matter how many vulnerabilities will go public. They prefer to install 20 patches and do 5 firmware upgrades and have the excuse "I choose Intel for the company, I choose systems with CPUs from the bigger brand in the world" than going with an AMD option. So, I don't think that we have reach the crossroad where professionals will really, I mean REALLY consider changing Intel because of all those security concerns. I think people who watch this staff are still choosing to ignore this stuff because the other option, going to AMD, still looks unknown and dangerous in other ways.
But that is just a personal opinion.
