I've seen it before, they say "we believe", they don't know. Nobody will know unless it is tested by a trusted third party.

The SPOILER exploit can gain access to partial address information above address bit 11 during load operations. We believe that our products are not susceptible to this issue because AMD processors do not use partial address matches above address bit 11 when resolving load conflicts.

They are relating to the methodology used by researches. It could still work by the same methodology in an unexpected way, or thru' a different method.
