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.

    How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

      Because it does not set in stone that there can be only 2 companies producing compatible chips, which can be however bad until both of them does the same shit practices.

      So the short answer is by not stifling competition.
