This also recalls a one -month process that Intel followed to find the problems with certain basic processors of the 13th and 14th generation whose performance and stability deteriorated over time. Intel had to publish several waves of fixes to completely solve the problems, but a major contributing factor, said the company, was the manufacturers of motherboard whose products moved too much from the default parameters recommended by Intel. In the end, Intel ended up extending the guarantees of the basic processors of the 13th and 14th generation to help cover the damage.
McAfee and Kirsch recommend installing the latest BIOS updates of your mother manufacturer when published, to collect new default settings as AMD and its partners modify them. These BIOS updates also add the management of new processors, improve the compatibility of memory and the safety defects of the patches, among others.
McAfee and Kirsch also stressed that the AMD can have a little more difficulty testing and reducing problems, because the long life of its chipsets and processor sockets (and various AMD tools to adjust the power limits and overclocking) create a much wider range of possible system configurations to test. This is particularly true for Socket AM4 motherboards, where an X370 motherboard of 2017 could theoretically be associated with a current processor version such as the Ryzen 5 5500x3d. But even for AM5, users could stick Ryzen X3D Ryzen chips in 3 -year motherboards, an upgrade path without real equivalent in Intel ecosystem.
