As an IT security specialist myself, security is completely unimportant to me because I know I'm not a target. It's kinda irrelevant what security flaws in software or hardware exist if I don't invite the hackers into my home. And there aren't even any useful exploits around to effectively target Spectre or Meltdown. I feel quite safe regardless of my choice of CPU.

I wish I had your confidence, but I wouldn't install an Intel CPU in my personal rig next time, especially with how their handling the entire situation.

Yeah, they're being pretty stubborn. Though properly reacting to the issue could actually cost them quite a bit. Replacing every single Intel CPU out there is actually physically impossible. The least thing that they should do is to fix whatever next CPU generation is coming in hardware. But it looks like they're not even willing to do that, which is kinda sad. Stupid capitalism and its monopolies.
