This is not true anymore!
From https://www.phoronix.com/news/15h-org-AMD-Firmware
We can read (see bold text) :
- Bug-free RAM init. Every memory module I’ve tested works. The maximum RAM is now 512 GB.
- Fast and reliable boots. The platform boots consistently and within ~15 seconds for a 256GB setup.
- Native fan control using the motherboard’s hardware monitor
- Thermal throttling to protect the CPU from overheating (and thermal shutdown support)
- Improved multicore performance
- Reduced idle power usage
- Bug-free IOMMU support (tested on Debian, FreeBSD, Xen, and QubesOS)
- Full support for AMDs speculative execution patches, which did not work on ASUS BIOS or Raptor Engineering’s port. This enables the latest QubesOS to run without any problems
- Support for up to 4 PCIe devices, 1 PIKE card, and 1 PCI device (6 card maximum)
