Why 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.

Well, 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.
