News & Reviews:   AMD CPU

After several users reported online recently about their Ryzen CPUs being mysteriously overclocked without their consent, the culprit has finally been found. Get this, it seems that the problem lies with a bug in AMD’s GPU driver which changed users' CPU settings in BIOS without permission.

Previously, AMD added support for automatic CPU overclocking through one of its GPU drivers last year. This feature was meant to simplify the overclocking experience by adding in a Ryzen Master module into the Radeon Adrenaline GPU drivers.

As AMD continues to gain market recognition, more companies are producing variants of laptops with AMD CPUs. We've seen this with the Honor MagicBook 14, which just recently launched a variant sporting the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU. Now, the company could be looking to launch more AMD variants for the rest of its MagicBook laptops.
