Phoronix: Linux 6.4 Squeezes In Crash Fix For New AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Laptops

Sent in today for the mainline Linux kernel -- days ahead of the expected Linux 6.4 stable release -- is a crash fix for just-released AMD Ryzen 7040 series laptops...

I'm still working on getting my hands on AMD Ryzen 7040 series hardware for Linux testing at Phoronix, but alas most of the new Ryzen laptops so far are paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics that are less than interesting to most of the Phoronix audience.

You could look at the Beelink or Minisforum mini-pc products? They're using these CPUs without a dGPU, they might be open to sponsoring the hardware to Phoronix for review too, at least I've heard Minisforum does that for some youtube reviewers. See the UM790 Pro as their current flagship:

Apparently their previous gen didn't do too well with cooling. I've never purchased their products, so no clue how friendly they are with Linux or if they're more than just specs for value without good QA. Their FAQ does state that components like RAM and SSD will vary in brand, but that's not uncommon for some laptops either AFAIK.

Another option: Framework 13 laptop with Ryzen 7040 series are available for preorder (shipping Q4 of this year). Granted, not ideal for benchmarks before then, but maybe you can reach out to them directly to see if they'd be willing to send you one sooner for benchmarking.
