AMD’s Random Efficiency Points Pinned to fTPM with a Repair in One other Two Months

AMD customers have been pissed off with intermittent stuttering points, together with gaming nightmares equivalent to random freezing, sudden efficiency drops, and latency spikes. Most of these points appear to solely have an effect on AMD techniques. and are tough to duplicate as a result of their randomness. Fortunately, it appears like AMD was in a position to isolate the problems to its TPM firmware.

AMD fastened the issue on its web site (through TechPowerUp) stating that “AMD has decided that sure AMD Ryzen system configurations could intermittently carry out fTPM-related prolonged reminiscence transactions in SPI flash reminiscence (“SPIROM”) positioned on the motherboard, which can trigger momentary pauses in interactivity or responsiveness of the system till the transaction is concluded.”
