It's too early to say which is ultimately the most real-world serious.

From the Spectre note (which does affect AMD):

In addition to violating process isolation boundaries using native code, Spectre attacks can also be used to violate browser sandboxing, by mounting them via portable JavaScript code. We wrote a JavaScript program that successfully reads data from the address space of the browser process running it.

How quickly are we going to see attacks targeting BTC/ETH wallets, apps etc. on clients and cloud hosted exchanges?
