Have you been noticing random performance stutters, slow loading and other issues on AMD Ryzen<\/a>-powered Windows 10 or 11 machines? AMD has revealed<\/a> that they could be caused by issues with the firmware trusted platform modules (fTPMs) located in the BIOS on Ryzen motherboards, TechPowerUp<\/em><\/a> has reported.<\/p>\n

Last year, Microsoft announced that TPM 2.0 chips would essentially<\/a> be required for Windows 11. They serve as a hardware encryption system, authenticating Windows background memory transactions. AMD found that “select AMD Ryzen system configurations may intermittently perform extended fTPM-related memory transactions in SPI flash memory (\u201cSPIROM\u201d) located on the motherboard,” essentially causing your system to stutter until the transaction completes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company announced that it’s working on a fix, and offered an immediate workaround. You can switch from fTPM to a discrete TPM module (dTPM) installed in the dedicated TMP 2.0 header on your motherboard. If you decided to do that, you’ll unfortunately have to pay: they cost somewhere around $50-100 on Amazon, according to TechPowerUp<\/em>. You’ll also need to be sure to disable Bitlocker before switching between fTPM and dTPM, if it’s enabled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other option is to simply wait for a fix that AMD said will arrive some time in early May. It will be distributed by PC or motherboard vendors and “will require a motherboard system BIOS (sBIOS) update containing enhanced modules for fTPM interaction with SPIROM,” according to AMD.<\/p>\n

The fTPM issue is not the first we’ve seen with AMD’s Ryzen chips. Last year, AMD was forced to issue updates<\/a> for two significant bugs, one of which was slowing popular eSports games by up to 15 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
