minus-squareDefault_Defect@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up104arrow-down2·1 year agoWhy is it that every time there’s drama about hardware, its something I own?
minus-squaretram1@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39arrow-down1·1 year agoThat’s because of monopolies… There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own…
minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down3·1 year agoThat’s a duopoly and is also not true, there are ARM processors readily available outside of Intel and AMD.
minus-squarePeachMan@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·1 year agoWell, 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.
minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squareBeliriel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoIsn’t EPYC just a different name for Zen 3?
minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNope, EPYC is their server processors, not their consumer processors.
minus-squareBeliriel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOh Nice! Well then I’m lucky too. Got a Ryzen 9
