Phoronix: AMD Announces Commitment To "Open Security Technologies"

After the AMD Advancing AI Event yesterday where they launched AMD 5th Gen EPYC processors, Instinct product updates, and new high-end networking gear, they also put out a blog post to affirm their "commitment to open security technologies in the data center."..

A nice effort for the data center, but what about client compute? I'm not going to be impressed with AMD until they remove Microsoft Pluton from their chips (or at least make it optional) and open source their CPU microcode, GPU microcode, and Platform Security Processor firmware.

This will be great when we will have open source UEFI & firmware for our consumer hardware!

AMDs commitment to open security seems to be mainly for the servers and the enterprise, for their EPYC line. For us normal consumers it seems they're not really that interested in open security and open firmware.

When words do not match actions.

This is great. I'd like them to also announce a commitment that all future GPUs will be supported by ROCm. Enterprise, consumer, even iGPUs like the quite powerful 890M.
