Is this another one, different than "zenbleed"?

Yes, Zenbleed is only Zen 2, and Inception is 3 and 4.
They are also very different attacks.

Inception takes advantage of the AMD branch prediction algorithms, and those algorithms might be different than Intels they do the same job of moving instructions around in order to boost performance.
So in theory they have all the same vulnerabilities that the Intel ones do, just how you go about executing them differs.
 
Oof, so I've got a Ryzen 1700x with a B450M Aorus M rev 1 factory bios. I guess I should look into updating my BIOS.

The newest bios may not have support for your 1700x

Its all good for now. I took it up to F.60 and it booted right up into Windows. I was gonna put F.64 on it but I think I'll hold off for now. Its pretty cool I can support up to a 5950x. I think I'll have to go CPU shopping now. ;)

This is the way, and why AMD is awesome at the moment.
