Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.
That’s so stupid, also because they have fixes for Zen and Zen 2 based Epyc CPUs available.
Intel vs. AMD isn’t “bad guys” vs. “good guys”. Either company will take every opportunity to screw their customers over. Sure, “don’t buy Intel” holds true for 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs specifically, but other than that it’s more of a pick your poison.
welp, time to go buy intel… wait.
You laugh, but if you’re buying used, this 100% makes Intel the way to go over a Ryzen 1000/2000/3000 CPU.
I feel like this is the perfect place for Right to Repair legislation: the product is broken? And it’s outside your support window? Then give customers what they need to make the fix themselves. It’s not good enough to say “meh, guess you gotta buy one of our newer chips then 🤷”
Especially since the Linux community are the types to go way overkill
Dumb article. If anyone is running vulnerable hardware from 18 years ago, you deserve what you get.
There isn’t a lifetime guarantee on technology to be bulletproof for the future. They’re patching what they can. WTF.
They aren’t patching CPUs that were released 5 years ago.
They should be patching back to Ryzen 1 since those are still perfectly good CPUs. 5-7 years really isn’t that old considering how little improvement there is with each generation.

What are you on about?
Ryzen 3xxx series processors are still being sold new today
The oldest zen processors are only just over half a decade old—a consumer CPU should be expected to be in service at least double that time.
My threadripper 1950x is from 2017… and is the cpu powering my primary hypervisor perfectly fine. That’s not 18 years ago, that’s not even 8 years ago.
Some people really don’t think before they speak do they
