Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fixLanky_Pomegranate530@lemmy.world to Technology@lemmy.world – 589 points – 1 years agoarstechnica.com96Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsWhy 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.Oh how I miss CyrixWell, 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?Nope, EPYC is their server processors, not their consumer processors.Oh Nice! Well then I'm lucky too. Got a Ryzen 9
