Nearly all motherboard makes were found vulnerable to the LogoFAIL security flaw at the end of last year. And at long last, AMD's vendor partners are finally beginning to roll out patched firmware.
After improving DDR5 speeds and fixing memory training bugs and issues, AMD seems to finally be ready to announce the Ryzen 7000 desktop APUs for AM5. These upcoming parts may be revealed at CES.
AMD Ryzen 3000, 4000 desktop chips, as well as Ryzen 5000, 4000, and some 7000 series mobile chips, are vulnerable to a new CPU vulnerability dubbed "Zenbleed". AMD confirms patches are coming soon.

AMD may finally be ready to unveil its RDNA 2 / RDNA 3 desktop APUs soon. That's because the company's latest AGESA firmware update is allowing DDR5 RAM kits to hit around 8000MT/s on Ryzen.
AMD has issued a new statement regarding Ryzen 7000 series chips burning up. The company says that it has identified the problem and has released a critical AGESA firmware update that fixes it.
AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and AM5 boards are known to have really slow boot times in some cases. However, with the latest firmware update, Asus has significantly reduced the boot times.
According to reports, the latest firmware update AGESA 1.0.0.4 for AMD AM5 motherboards is causing major performance loss and boot fails on Ryzen 7000 series. The core layout is apparently to blame.
There has been a rumor floating that AMD is facing firmware issues regarding Ryzen 7000 and socket AM5. According to a new report, the reported issues are related to DDR5 speeds and boost clocks.
While AMD made it official yesterday that first-gen Socket AM4 300 series chipset boards will support the new Ryzen 5000 and 4000 CPUs too, there appears to be some major caveats, at least for now.
As the company had said earlier, AMD has officially announced the support of all Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, including the newest ones, on first-gen 300 series chipset AM4 motherboards.
ASUS has announced the availability of the AGESA 1.2.0.2 firmware. The update is supposed to fix the USB connectivity problems that AMD 500-series chipset board owners had reported experiencing.

AMD has now expanded support for its Smart Access Memory feature to Ryzen 3000 series processors. The feature debuted last year alongside the launch of the Ryzen 5000 CPUs and RX 6000 series GPUs.
AMD has officially announced that PCIe Resizable BAR support will be arriving next month via the upcoming AGESA 1.2.0.0 BIOS. The new update will also fix some telemetry problems with Ryzen Master.
AMD delayed the September launch of the Ryzen 9 3950X by a couple of months to November. The 16-core 32-thread monster CPU is allegedly facing clocking issues, similar to other Ryzen 3000 processors.
