Two days ago, news articles were reporting that AMD processors were not affected these “flaws”. Has new information been discovered in the last day or so?

Apparently Meltdown doesn’t affect AMD but Specter affects all of them.

AMD is hit by Spectre, but not Meltdown.

There's been a wealth of information specific to AMD's posted here on FR in the last few days, I've read most of it and can summarize it as follows:
1. Meltdown does NOT affect AMD Processors.
2. AMD is affected by one of the Spectre vulnerabilities however it requires physical access to the machine.
That's as of yesterday afternoon, information specific to Meltdown and Spectre has been coming out pretty fast so if the above has changed I'm certain someone here on FR with knowledge will post corrections to the above.
