AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable β€” security feature vanishes after newer AGESA firmware, AMD engineers go radio silent when pressed about the change

AMD has reportedly stripped TSME from consumer Ryzen processors after years of working support, with testing suggesting newer AGESA firmware disables the memory-encryption feature while Pro and EPYC CPUs remain unaffected.

Intel's upcoming Z970 and Z990 flagship chipsets will reportedly consume up to 14W at peak load, courtesy of more PCIe 5.0 support β€” Nova Lake motherboards may feature a 22% smaller PCH than Z890

The Z990 PCH for Nova Lake motherboards is apparently 22% smaller than Z890, despite featuring a higher power maximum power draw of up to 14W. The leaked picture of the PCH shows a 11.15 x 6.5mm die and 25 x 24mm package, but we're unsure what motherboard it actually comes from.
