16416	Firmware - the AMD details are a bit out of date.	ken@…	ken@…	"This week AMD released firmware for fam17h (Zen, Zen+, Zen2) and also Fam 19h (Zen3). The fam17h blob is now 67KB.

At the moment we list all the old families but not family 19h. Perhaps we should now only list families 17h and 19h, and note that the older families before this are covered in the 11.1 book ? The newest of the initial families in microcode_amd (Bobcat fam14h) is more than 10 years old. For fam15h the newest are the Kaveri refresh APUs from 2016 and the Excavator CPUs from 2016, for fam16h the newest were Puma APUs from 2014 - all according to wikipedia.

That would mean removing the AMD examples since at the moment there is no detail of how current kernels report the AMD update, and it is uncertain if late loading works on AMD : intel were keen to keep that working for their microcode, but there are reports that on recent AMD a power-off (and therefore early loading) is needed (did not make any difference on my machines)."	enhancement	closed	normal	11.2	BOOK	git	medium	fixed
