What is the current state of high-end AMD desktop systems (socket AM5)?

General Discussion

With the new line of AMD CPUs being released next month, there are probably people considering upgrading their system.

What is the current state of AMD compatibility with Qubes OS?

Judging from the few Ryzen 7000 AM5 systems on the HCL they require some work to get running, but the HCL posts a year old, have things improved?

Are there any motherboards where you could realistically expect a Ryzen 9000 to just work out of the box, without any extra work needed to be done, except enable virtualization, disabling secure boot, etc.

What about PSP? Is that not an essential problem?

I have a wrx90-based system (ASUS Sage) and AMD TR 7985WX. PSP wasn’t an issue for me

Or, put it this way, I knew nothing of PSP until I had Qubes up and running. I don’t recall what the default setting was but it wasn’t something I ever touched to make Qubes work

Hope that’s helpful
