AMD has issued new microcode updates for its Zen 5 CPUs to address the RDSEED issue. This release aims to resolve a specific problem in the processor's random number generation feature.
AMD has released additional microcode for Zen 5 CPUs specifically targeting the RDSEED issue. RDSEED is an instruction used for generating cryptographically secure random numbers on x86 processors.
The update comes from Phoronix, a site focused on Linux hardware reviews and benchmarks. While details on the exact nature of the RDSEED problem in Zen 5 are not specified in the available information, the microcode release indicates AMD's ongoing efforts to enhance CPU reliability.
This development is relevant for users of AMD's latest architecture, particularly in environments requiring high-security random number generation, such as cryptographic applications.
