I would want to use a newer AMD Ryzen 7 or faster AMD Desktop PC for online banking, forums, social networking, video chat, instant messaging and other online activities. I also don't want to use a Intel computer where having both the Spectre and Meldown patches installed may slow down a PC by 30% and more, or cause random reboot and boot up problems which is reported all over the web on tech blogs.
I feel unsafer using an Intel PC even if the operating system software patches are installed for Intel Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerability. I think there is always a chance that the Intel Spectre and Meltdown patches can be hacked by more skillful hackers and a more advance virus and malware which can to secretly uninstall patches for Spectre and Meltdown, or make the patch not work, and steal your computer's datas.
I think most users, may not want to use an Intel computer for using the internet once you fully explain all the security risks related to using a Intel CPU with Spectre and Meltdown problems, and what data like username and passwords which they will lose if they got hacked by a hacker which use the Spectre and Meltdown security problem. People also don't like to buy CPUs which run slower after many security patches are installed on it because PC slowdown problems waste a lot of time, and slowdown people's work, so they need to work longer at a tasks.
Some online users may also ask their web hosting, bank website, online storage, and other websites to switch to web servers which use an AMD CPU to reduce the risk of their data of being stolen by a hacker who knows how to hack through the Intel Spectre and Meltdown security problem, and patches.
