Maybe they should hurry up and fix Zenbleed first.
You're aware the team working on that is almost certainly not the same team working on this, correct?
Yup, just having a moan, and also bringing it up because it feels like it should be more widely known about (along with Intel's similar issue).
it's already fixed, and merged in the linux kernel, they can't do more than that
Fixes have been added at a kernel level for many OS's, but microcode is still forthcoming for many models. It sounds like they've got it out for the EPYC 7002 (server) chips first - which makes sense as they're likely running VMs which may be internet exposed - and most of the rest are expected between Oct - Dec
Yeah, I'm aware of their roadmap. Most desktop CPUs are targeted for December 2023. However then it's up to motherboard manufacturers to incoporate and issue a BIOS update.
I have a feeling the team finalizing the launch of new Radeon cards have nothing to do with the team fixing Zenbleed.
