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.
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.
Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.
Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.
I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.
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.
AMD is producing them new or your local shop us? Because AMD doesnt care about your local tech shop dead stock.
@just_another_person @TheHolm where do you get the 15 year old hardware from?
