Researchers have every incentive to check out AMD thoroughly, after all, they are RESEARCHERS, they are not interested in market share, they are interested in FINDINGS to publish in their papers. And AMD architectures have been thoroughly tested for the same exploits and it has been found that most of them do not work (or at least they do not practically work under most humanly possible circumstances). It is just Intel's marketing department FUD that AMD is also susceptible to the same exploits, AMD's cpu architecture has some key differences to Intel. Intel made many corner cuts in order to squeeze more performance.
