AMD Unveils Latest Chipset Driver for Ryzen CPUs
Last month, AMD released an updated chipset driver aimed at enhancing performance for Ryzen CPUs accompanied by AM5 and AM4 socket motherboards. The new driver package, identified as version 7.02.13.148, introduces several new drivers, including enhanced support for the Microsoft Pluton security co-processor.
What is Microsoft Pluton?
The Microsoft Pluton architecture significantly bolsters chip-level security, surpassing the protections offered by traditional TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and Intel’s PTT (Platform Trust Technology).Notably, new AMD Copilot+ PCs are shipped with Pluton enabled, leading to the addition of several “null drivers”designed for systems without this capability.
Enhanced Compatibility and Stability
The updated chipset driver package also includes the “AMD Application Compatibility Database Driver.”This particular addition aims to improve application compatibility and bolster system stability across both Windows 10 and Windows 11 environments.
Distinctions Between Driver Tools
It’s important to note that this driver package serves a different purpose compared to the “AMD Software Compatibility Tool, ”which helps users identify and install the correct drivers tailored for their specific systems.
Release Summary
The comprehensive changelog for version 7.02.13.148 includes:
