Improved Performance and Stability: AMD Launches New Chipset Driver
Following a significant firmware update addressing the TPM-Pluton security vulnerability, AMD has rolled out a new chipset driver for all currently supported Ryzen processors and platforms. The latest version, 7.06.02.123 , is now available for download and includes a range of bug fixes along with an important security enhancement.
One of the key additions in this release is the integration of CETCOMPAT support into the AMD PPM Provisioning File driver — a component responsible for managing core parking and power efficiency within the system. This update ensures better protection against specific types of cyberattacks by aligning with modern Windows security features.
For those unfamiliar, Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) was originally developed by Intel and introduced in early 2021 for Windows 10 versions 20H1 and 20H2. CET helps prevent malicious software from hijacking program execution by enforcing strict control over memory address usage. It includes two main protections: Shadow Stack , which blocks unauthorized changes to return addresses, and Indirect Branch Tracking , which ensures that programs only jump to approved locations in memory.
AMD first added CETCOMPAT support to parts of its chipset driver suite back in October 2024. With this latest update, the feature now extends to the PPM Provisioning File driver, reinforcing system-level security for Ryzen users. While the changes may not be immediately visible to end users, they play a crucial role in strengthening defenses against sophisticated malware attacks.
Users are encouraged to download and install the updated driver via the official AMD website or through automatic updates to ensure their systems remain secure and up to date.
