Why is it that every time there's drama about hardware, its something I own?
Well, this happens to affect the Ryzen 5 3600, which I'm pretty sure is one of AMD's most popular processors ever....so you're certainly not alone.
That's because of monopolies... There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own...
Oh how I miss Cyrix
That’s a duopoly and is also not true, there are ARM processors readily available outside of Intel and AMD.
I feel really lucky that it doesn't affect Zen 3 since that's what I have lol but I'm sure they will find some similar bug for Zen 3.
Isn't EPYC just a different name for Zen 3?
Nope, EPYC is their server processors, not their consumer processors.
Oh Nice! Well then I'm lucky too. Got a Ryzen 9
