Here's AMD claiming it's not affected and Google VERY SPECIFICALLY saying it is. Turns out we're all screwed.

Think in all those unattended IoT devices if the rumours of ARM being affected too are true.
So what’s the solution?

Aye, and AMD laughing up their sleeves... "our processors are ok..."
"not susceptible to all three" means it's possible it's susceptible to 1/3 or 2/3. which it is.

Good news: AMD basically doesn't have the same vulnerability. Bad news: IoT devices that don't auto-update will remain vulnerable to Spectre for the remainder of their lifetimes. That includes your Smart Fridge.
