AMD has some interesting CPU level protections in place. The RAM encryption (SME/SEV) is a nice thing, because it protects against leaks from VM to VM, as well as if the hypervisor has bugs. For a VM farm, this looks very interesting.
I just hope AMD keeps playing in the enterprise sector, as competition here is always a plus.
I wish Chrome would offer a "click to activate" button for autoplay crap. It gets annoying, so much that I wind up just using a VM [1] for all my Web browsing which ensures that any sound played never is heard. Sites like C-Net are notorious for this.
It also wouldn't hurt to have a bandwidth guard. If the item is bigger than a certain size, don't download it.
[1]: A VM also gives some additional niceties like containing damage done by malware, and the ability to restore to a previous snapshot very quickly, so if a browser or add-on has a hole in it, things are mitigated.

Weird... Forbes comes through loud and clear with uBlock Origin + NanoDefender.
