AMD says they are releasing microcode updates for their previous |
| 2 |
generation CPU's (Opteron, FX, etc) next week. |
| 3 |
So much better than intel throwing older CPU owners to the wolves. |

In terms of what CPU to get - I would get either an AMD G34/C32 Opteron |
| 6 |
(pre-PSP) with a compatible libre firmware board (KGPE-D16 or KCMA-D8) |
| 7 |
or if you can afford it a POWER9 system as IBM quickly released updates |
| 8 |
for POWER to solve this issue and if they ever stopped due to |
| 9 |
considering your system "too old" POWER9 is owner controlled and |
| 10 |
documented so the community could theoretically patch its own microcode. |

|
| 12 |
You can make a C32 libre firmware gaming system for around 500-700, so |
| 13 |
that is quite affordable. |
