Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.

The Ryzen 5 3600 is from 2019. The XT refreshes so Ryzen 5 3600xt from mid 2020
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.
Ryzen 2000 and 3000 are still fairly recent and were announced 5-6 years ago.
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.
AMD is producing them new or your local shop us? Because AMD doesnt care about your local tech shop dead stock.
Maybe they should, and also care about the many people still using these processors that are not very old.
Support should be 5 years after End of Life or end of Manufacturing date.
My threadripper 1950x is from 2017… and is the cpu powering my primary hypervisor perfectly fine. That’s not 18 years ago, that’s not even 8 years ago.
3600 was released in 2019. And it they was making it for at least 2 years.

Some people really don’t think before they speak do they
@just_another_person @TheHolm where do you get the 15 year old hardware from?
