Package Includes:

AMD Chipset Drivers
AMD Ryzen™ Power Plans (required for UEFI CPPC2 in Windows® 10 May 2019 Update)
Contains desktop idle optimizations for 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors
Resolves Destiny 2 game launch on 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors

Windows OS automatically installs a generic driver that allows computers to recognize basic motherboard functions. However, to make use of all board components, appropriate chipset drivers must be applied.

If you install this package, the system will receive related information regarding the chipset. Also, this step might improve compatibility and bus transfer speeds, add various changes for sleep state behavior, power saving functionality and others, or include support for new features. To apply this release, simply make sure your system configuration is supported by this package, get the file, run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. Bear in mind that installing inappropriate chipset drivers can cause computers to malfunction. In addition to that, do perform a system restart after you have completely applied the present release so that all changes take effect. Despite the off-chance that other OSes might be compatible, we do not recommend installing any software on platforms other than the highlighted ones.

Change Info:
Will enable an updated AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan to resolve the issue. In addition, a new AMD Ryzen Master (version 2.0.0.1225+) is updated with new voltage and temperature reporting methodologies that more realistically demonstrate CPU behaviour. Please note users of previous generation AMD Ryzen™ products do not require this update so a chipset driver install is not necessary. This new chipset driver also contains a beta solution for Destiny 2, resolving an issue in which some users were unable to launch the game. Note, to address other software titles that may be affected, a more comprehensive solution will be contained in the upcoming AGESA 1003ABB production BIOSes from AM4 motherboard manufacturers. These will be available in a few weeks upon completion of QA testing.

The actual chipset drivers in the package are the same as the old package, for me. A few are even older than the 18.50.16.01 package MSI provides for my B450 board.

Glad to see I wasn't alone in that....

18.50.16.01 MSI package has 2 or 3 newer drivers in it...not sure about other brands (Asus, etc.), but even the last AMD provided set 18.10.1810, was the same drivers as these. I guess something in there is updated, but nothing I actually install, which is just the actual chipset drivers via device manager > INF files.

These:
AMDPSP
GPIO_ML
GPIO_PT
PCI_INF
SMBus

...Forgive me for being totally out of my element here, but am I supposed to install this on my ACER laptop which is using a Ryzen 5 2500U? ...Or do I wait until ACER uploads a modified-version onto their support page? I don't understand why this is uploaded if it isn't for everyone to just auto-install right now.

This is for desktop chipsets. Acer's webpage for your specific model should have the latest chipset drivers. If you're running the Acer update software, you would already have the latest one.
I ran this and also saw nothing new for Asus B-350i. I think AntiSnipe is right. There must be some changes. They just released another new bios so it's probably for that. I really like the last bios after it added Precision Boost Overdrive. I haven't updated to the newest one. It had this for the description "Update AM4 ComboPI 0.0.7.2A for next-gen processors and to improve CPU compatibility"
Edit
The previous bios had this "Update AGESA 0072 for the upcoming processors.
ASUS strongly recommends that you update AMD chipset driver 18.50.16 or later before updating BIOS."

When I go to the official page of amd, you can get v19.10.0429, so I'm wondering why here there's only talk of v18.50.1601 as if that's the final one ?

https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x470

I also cannot find any mention of these newer drivers anywhere on guru3d...so what gives ?
AMD use different release numbers than the board manufacturers. I know it's quite confusing. I don't get why they can't be consistent. BTW It's recommended that you do a clean install if your going from AMD update to ASUS,MSI,etc update or vice-versa.

AMD Ryzen power balanced plan was needed only for the versions of Windows 10 prior 1803 to disable core parking. Starting with 1803 Windows 10 correctly disable core parking on balanced and high performance power plans with Ryzen CPUs, so it's not needed any-more.
Please note that with or without Ryzen balanced power plane, core parking is always enable when power saver plan is selected, despite the new additional power mode slider in PC setting (which should only act in the range of the CPU dynamic clock)

Okay I was wondering because on AMD's driver page it still lists the AMD Ryzen Balanced Power Plan as part of the package for revision 1.6.13.0400.

Probably is still maintained for older version of Windows.

AMD and its inconsistent versioning lol.

the versions being talked about previously are listed under the "Previous versions" link.
https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x470

18.50.0422 and 19.10.0429 are older than 1.6.13.0400

Ryzen balanced is tuned for faster boost reactions.

This is no longer the case, source

The changes made in the Ryzen Balanced Power were added into the Windows Balanced Power Profile during the release of Redstone 4. So, you can use the Windows Balanced Power Profile from hereon in.

That article is out of date and irrelevant to Zen 2, even if you use 1903 with its further improved default balanced plan it is no longer correct.

THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION

Immediately available for download, a new AMD chipset driver (version 1.07.29.xxx) is designed to relax the processor’s sensitivity level to boost requests while running desktop apps like those described above. It will modify the processor’s behavior in two key ways:

1) We will be adjusting the sensitivity of CPPC2. If you are running the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, 3rd Gen Ryzen processors will now use traditional 15ms clock selection intervals when at idle or low load. This has the effect of filtering many of these short-lived or undesirable boost requests, enabling the processor to be more dormant when the workloads are light.

2) We will also be adjusting how the processor behaves in low or idle workloads. If a processor core is not power gated and sleeping, the processor core will sit at 99% of base clock for low or idle workloads. For example: an AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X base clock is 3600MHz, so you would see “idle” frequencies around 3564MHz ± 0.08%. This 99% value keeps the active core on a razor’s edge so that your non-trivial applications can easily trigger CPU boost. While boosted, the processor will still control frequency selection in 1ms intervals.

These changes are implemented in Chipset Driver 1.07.29, available for download now. The chipset driver installer will automatically install and enable a new AMD Ryzen™ Balanced power plan for all 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen customers. Users of any other Ryzen™ CPU will not receive, and do not need, this plan.

I don't think there is a ryzen performance plan?

I don't see one anyways.

I use the Ryzen Power Plan and adjust the "minimum processor state" from 90% to 5%. This way you still get the benefits of the power plan and your CPU will still downclock when idle.
