There are always challenges that the company has to overcome in connection with AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture). The exact causes of the problems with AGESA 1.0.7.0 are difficult to determine, but are believed to be due to a combination of faulty or inadequately tested code changes and insufficient communication between AMD and motherboard manufacturers.
The last version for the end customers, the AGESA 1.0.0.7, was apparently hectically recalled (I had reported in detail about the internal version 1.0.7.0) and again explicitly supplemented by three points. In the meantime the version AGESA 1.0.9.0 was announced in advance (for internal use by board partners), but at the same time the public version AGESA 1.0.0.7a was circulated. Exactly for this I have exclusively the excerpts from the ChangeLog for you.
The first two entries are for all Ryzen 7 CPUs, whether with (X3D) or without 3D-V cache (X). Also here, the SOC Voltage was named for AMD’s Overdrive (AOD) (as Voltage Input) as well as an extension of the help text was announced:
PLAT-132133: [RPL]and [RPL-X3D] Update AOD menu help text to reference LN2 mode for expanded voltage ranges
For the X3D CPUs there is also a general, internal limitation from 1.4V to 1.3V listed, whose limit also applies outside of AOD – i.e. in general
Furthermore, several congruent, targeted RMA cases reached me, in which especially Ryzen 9 7950X @stock are said to run extremely unstable in special situations (e.g. Prime95, AVX2 , 2 – 4 threads, FFT Size 4K). The positive Curve Optimizer on default settings is mentioned as a workaround. Why this is the case and whether AMD recognizes the behavior as an RMA reason remains to be seen.
All the problems with the AGESA versions and seemingly randomly dying Ryzen 7000 series processors had a significant impact on the user experience and trust in AMD. Many customers are now expressing frustration and disappointment with the issues and lack of communication from AMD. In addition, the situation has led to an increased workload for support at manufacturers and resellers. One can only hope that AMD can now really solve the problems with the new AGESA versions.
