I'm not interested cuz I have a 1st gen Ryzen 1600 and it does everything I need. I'm not a gamer either.

I'm glad AMD, despite being far ahead of Intel, is still the budget brand.
>>4620 Gen 2 Ryzen kicks Gen 1 Ryzen's ass. Is yours AF? If not, consider getting a cheap used one. You'll get better performance for less energy use.

Not interested in any new AMD/Intel CPUs until they remove their NSA-mandated backdoors.

>>4625I thought PSP's inherent flaws can only be exploited by having physical access, unlike IME which can be accessed remotely and controls everything.

i use will upgrade every 8-10 years or in case of hardware failure

Also I'd use cpubenchmark.net next time, the owner of the website you posted has a bias against AMD he doesn't even bother hiding so I'm not sure how reliable their results are.

Now that Zen 4/PCIE5/DDR5 is round the corner, how much time is best to wait before upgrading to the next generation? I'm sure their first few hardware iterations won't be particularly stable just yet
No.12645
Still have an OC AMD FX 8350, my old GPU started to die and got a newer one now the CPU causes bottlenecks so gonna upgrade when zen 4 comes out.
No.12646
>>12645I have an 8350 and I won't be upgrading until a CPU without an NSA backdoor is released.

>>12644I recently got a Ryzen 5 3600 so I won't be upgrading any time soon. but am4+ socket is gonna be good for the next 3-4 generations so even if you get in early you'll be able to upgrade later.

>>12684Now, I'm just cynical, but how trustworthy is a "Blackbox Backdoor: On/Off" switch, really? I didn't look much into it but Win8/10 also came with options to "disable telemetry" and it seems that was mostly placebo, to encourage adoption.
Like if the feds come and install a blackbox on your car, tell you it's a GPS tracker and your car will stop working if you tamper with it
but they give you a handy dashboard button that they pinky swear disables it. Would you buy it? I'd still use the car, I got no other options but I'd file it as the agent having lost a bet or something.

>>12681>>12682>>12683>>12684>>12685Can't these backdoor-systems be used for improving security ? It's a system that runs beneath your system, it would be the ideal place to install a firewall and other kinds of security systems.
Why is the goal to get rid of this stuff instead of repurposing it?
No.12693
>>12692The way towards "repurposing" such a processor would need a lot of reverse-engineering and even if someone managed to execute arbitrary code on it, who is to know how backdoors might still be activated e.g. by signed networking request. IMHO the best chance for any programming and eventual backdoor mitigation on such coprocessors would be a series of major leaks from a CPU vendor.
