AMD has disclosed four vulnerabilities found in its Zen-based CPUs, ranging from the original Zen chips to the latest Zen 4 processors, and not all impacted chips have a readily available BIOS version to correct the issue. The vulnerabilities, which compromise the security of the SPI interface that connects to the flash chip that stores your BIOS, affect different generations of different Zen CPUs — not all processors are vulnerable to all four bugs.

AMD has added support for its next-generation accelerated processing units codenamed Strix Point to the ROCm software stack used to program GPUs, as noticed by @Kepler_L2. The addition confirms that AMD's upcoming processors based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture will feature GPUs based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.
