    I’m mad because one week ago I bought a brand new ryzen 3400g (ok, it probably sat in the warehouse for years) for my dad (he didn’t need lots of power), i even didn’t have time to take it out from the box, but they say “EOL, no patches for old shit” - while still patching mobile picasso cpus for laptops (same gen/process)

        Official AMD website - for desktop only Ryzen 5000 or newer; for mobile only Ryzen 3000 or newer

        The way they did the distinction is purely based on the time of put on sale. They patch Zen+ on mobile, they patch Zen2 on desktop only if it comes with integrated GPU, otherwise it needs to be zen3 or higher. If you already fixed the exploit on zen+ and Zen2 why not making available for everyone? Selling more CPUs I guess…
