Oh... great. And I thought Intel mitigations took away performance... here you could lose half? 😀
Sounds like single package CPUs seem the only thing that really works...
I guess they need to patch this soon, future AGESA won't be an issue again.

The problem is found only in 7600x which have 2 ccd one is (problematic-disabled).

I wonder if AMD has gone down the same dark path that Intel has? Over on the Intel support forum (specifically for their NUCs) we are constantly running into serious bugs that they can't replicate because they do not do any physical hardware testing, its all simulated. In just the last year they claimed that they could not replicate (and then later fixed) a firmware update bug that could not see through RAID, a LAN driver that bricked a port under Windows 10 but not 11 and the Software Studio bug that sent rapid fire error 3 reports to the event logs.

These tech companies have to realize that having a good Q&A team can cost money, but saves a lot of headaches and a lot of money in the long run.

The news to me is that 2 ccd's 7600x exist :/
