minus-squareDefault_Defect@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up55arrow-down2·2 years agoWhy is it that every time there’s drama about hardware, its something I own?
minus-squaretram1@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down1·2 years agoThat’s because of monopolies… There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own…
minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·2 years agoThat’s a duopoly and is also not true, there are ARM processors readily available outside of Intel and AMD.
minus-squarePeachMan@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 years 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-up3·2 years 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-up1·2 years agoOh Nice! Well then I’m lucky too. Got a Ryzen 9
