Variant 3 is Meltdown...RYZEN is NOT affected with this vulnerability. Last decade Intel CPUs yes.

Variant 1 and 2 are Spectre.

This is a tool from Microsoft to discover if your CPU has these vulnerability:

i'm an happy owner of a R7 1700X so i've run this test and the results are: hardware requires kernel VA shadowing: false

So Ryzen is not affected with Meltdown vulnerability, according to Microsoft too.

This is a very interesting article: Meltdown, Spectre: The password theft bugs at the heart of Intel CPUs • The Register
