To be fair it's now 3 gens old but I do feel the sentiment
Are the newer ones any better? I’m not replacing my CPU, mobo, and ram for like a 25% improvement
Even the low end cpus in the new 9000 series put my 5950X to shame

Many pages of benchmarks here, keen to see what the 9950x can do
AMD should patch whatever is still in widespread use, including the 3xxx series. It's not that old.
This is not a bug that affects consumers. plenty of hardware has firmware vulnerabilities like this, including ssds, the groups who care about this are the ones who have security as a top priority.
