| JEMC said: So, have you guys heard about what has happened with AMD and an allegedly "security company" from Israel? That's some sh!t of the worst kind. |
The security company is unknown and they went against standard industry protocol... Why did they do that? So they could make a name for themselves and profit from it.
The security issues require some pretty intimate access to the host machine anyway. So to me it's ultimately a non-issue... You give me administration/low-level/direct hardware access to a machine and I could do all sorts of things.
Just remember that whether you own AMD, Intel, nVidia, ARM... All processors have flaws, some are horrific, some are pretty benign.
Some need to be fixed in a hardware revision, others just need a software/firmware update or in some cases a simple BIOS setting changed, what should be the concern is if said machines are used in a sensitive environment or becomes a very common attack vector to compromise machines.
With that in mind... One of the flaws attacks USB host controllers, namely Asmedia ASM1042, ASM1142 and ASM1143... Which are ALSO found on Intel Platforms. (My own x79 board uses the ASM1042 controller.)

Virtual Machine perhaps? It's how I get old Win95 games running on modern OS's.
You do tend to loose things like GPU acceleration though. (Unless that has changed in the last several years.)
In-fact, here is a guide for just that.
