AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — older Ryzen models will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' [Updated]

AMD says some chips fall outside of the software support window.

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.

    Yeah, thats the reason why we‘re in this capitalist hellhole. Perfection comes from billionaire money, nothing else.

        I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.

        You were misrepresenting things. Your needs have nothing to do with things not being functional. Something can be perfectly functional and not meet someones needs. Nobody said you should buy it as an investment.

          My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it’s the only way it’s coherent.

          If people bought [this hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use at a reasonable price] it might eventually not suck. That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

            You’re entitled to your opinion, I guess.

            hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use

            Thats misrepresenting reality and making assumptions while clearly showing lack of expertise

            at a reasonable price

            Thats completely arbitrary. If a price is reasonable or not depends on many factors. Obvious oversymplification.

            That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

            This shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Small companies and open source projects depend on people buying their products instead of cheaper, sometimes better performing products of big conglomerates for other reasons than price alone.

              Value is absolutely not arbitrary.

              “Reasonable” means comparable with x86/ARM at the same performance level. Anything more is, by definition, not capable of being reasonably priced.

              You’re again advocating for an imaginary investment in a bad product.
