Following user outcry, AMD reinstates memory encryption in consumer CPUs
Summary
AMD reinstates memory encryption (TSME, Memory Guard) in consumer Ryzen CPUs after user backlash over its silent removal. TSME encrypts memory to protect against physical attacks like cold-boot, and its removal raised concerns about transparency and trust. The company plans a July BIOS update to re-enable the feature, highlighting potential performance trade-offs and the influence of customer feedback.
