AMD's Bugfix for Ryzen Stuttering Now Widely Available

Interesting read. I think owners of Alienware Ryzen systems need to take note of this and the lack of any worthwhile updates to the AGESA micro code by the Alienware team.

I think the original Ryzen 3000 supported R10 runs a completely outdated version of the AGESA micro code.

One of the reasons why I upgraded to a retail board: lack of AGESA updates by the Alienware team.

Going to update my BIOS to the next BIOS version and latest AGESA code.

2. Fix AMD fTPM issue causes random stuttering.

AMD bug fixes for Ryzen platforms 

"In March, AMD announced that it had identified a severe stuttering issue on Ryzen systems that was solely related to the Trusted Platform Module. The issue would cause Ryzen systems to stutter or freeze temporarily. The problem is made even worse because TPM support is mandatory for Windows 11.

It's also worth noting that the early USB issues plaguing Ryzen platforms have been fixed since the AGESA 1.2.0.2 microcode update went live earlier this year. So if your board did not come with a 1.2.0.2 patch (or others such as 1.2.0.5 and 1.2.0.6b), AGESA 1.2.0.7 does include this additional hotfix.

Even if you don't plan on upgrading to a Ryzen 5000 CPU, updating your BIOS to the latest microcode from AMD can still be worth the effort to kill off these long-term issues."
