Why is it that every time there's drama about hardware, its something I own?
That's because of monopolies... There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own...
That’s a duopoly and is also not true, there are ARM processors readily available outside of Intel and AMD.
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.
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?
