AMD Turin PSP binaries analysis from open-source firmware perspective

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 21:35:42

Introduction In the previous post, we showed coreboot running on Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 with Turin CPU, the current, newest family of AMD server processors. However, we faced various obstacles and problems. Despite AMD publishing a set of blobs required for the Turin system initialization, they turned out to be not enough to release the CPU from reset by PSP. We were forced to do a workaround by injecting coreboot into the vendor firmware image and flashing it back. The whole process is far from ide

AMD’s RDNA4 GPU architecture

news.ycombinator.com Chester Lam 2025-09-24 17:04:18

RDNA4 is AMD’s latest graphics-focused architecture, and fills out their RX 9000 line of discrete GPUs. AMD noted that creating a good gaming GPU requires understanding both current workloads, as well as taking into account what workloads might look like five years in the future. Thus AMD has been trying to improve efficiency across rasterization, compute, and raytracing. Machine learning has gained importance including in games, so AMD’s new GPU architecture caters to ML workloads as well. Fro

The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead. What happened? Or: the batch job of death

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

After falling behind in generative AI, IBM and AMD look to quantum for an edge

In Brief IBM and AMD are partnering to develop next-generation computing architectures that integrate IBM’s quantum systems with AMD’s AI-specialized chips. The move could position both the tech giant and chipmaker as key infrastructure players, as they look to regain ground after falling behind on the generative AI boom. Together, IBM and AMD will attempt to launch a commercially viable quantum computing architecture – one that’s scalable and open-sourced. In other words, it will be more wide

Intel is an empire past its prime and is beset on all sides.

The way forward could be with a newfound gaming focus on its next-gen chips. Its desktop CPUs may be getting a gamer-centric upgrade, but the real surprise may be how it could win out in a market it has yet to truly compete in: handheld gaming.
