  They aren’t patching CPUs that were released 5 years ago.

  They should be patching back to Ryzen 1 since those are still perfectly good CPUs. 5-7 years really isn’t that old considering how little improvement there is with each generation.

    Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.

      Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

      I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.

        I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.

  What are you on about?

  Ryzen 3xxx series processors are still being sold new today

  The oldest zen processors are only just over half a decade old—a consumer CPU should be expected to be in service at least double that time.

    Support should be 5 years after End of Life or end of Manufacturing date.

      Maybe they should, and also care about the many people still using these processors that are not very old.
