I bought my 3900x just under 5 years ago. Norwegian consumer protection laws give me 5 years where the producer is required to fix any defects that came with the product.

As this bug now has become known to always have been there, i could probably force amd to replace my 3900x if they don't provide software patches.

Has anyone else attempted a similar RTM for software defects?

I do not think this includes security problems. The main function is given, so I do not think you can do anything.

It absolutely includes security issues, across the entire EU and EEA btw.

(Though in most EU/EEA countries you only get 2 years, which is why phones now get 36 months of security updates if they're on sale for 12 months).
