#AMD discloses slew of high severity #security #vulnerabilities for #Zen systems, from the original Zen chips to the latest #Zen4 #CPU, that attacks #BIOS chips, we finally have a #Zenbleed fix. AMD is patching the vulnerabilities through new versions of #AGESA, for #Zen2-based chips, in particular, many of these new AGESAs also patch Zenbleed, including #Epyc #Server chips bit.ly/3I1JKds tomshardware.com/pc-components

#AMD #Ryzen #Threadripper PRO# 7975WX #CPU Spotted: 32 #Zen4 Cores, 128 MB of L3 cache, and 32 MB of L2 cache. The CPU is expected to feature a TDP of 350W and the base clock speed is reported around 4.0 GHz. And Offer a Huge Performance Jump: 7975WX CPU can be as much as two times faster than its #3970X #Zen2 predecessor and as little as 40% faster

#AMD #Zen2 CPUs were found to be vulnerable to a speculative execution bug called #Zenbleed that allows attackers to leak credentials and break encryption.

The good news is that AMD has issued a microcode update, the bad news is that it's only available for their
#Epyc 7002 line. The fix for consumer & workstation Ryzen products containing the Zen2 cores will need to wait for a couple months for the fix.

Ars TechnicaEncryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix"Zenbleed" bug affects all Zen 2-based Ryzen, Threadripper, and EPYC CPUs.

AMD has released microcode patches to protect Epyc 7002 Rome server chips against the newly discovered Zenbleed vulnerability, but patches for consumer chips with Zen 2 CPU cores won't be ready until later this year. tomshardware.com/news/zenbleed
