Following user outcry, AMD reinstates memory encryption in consumer CPUs
AMD removed Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from consumer Ryzen processors without notice, a feature that protects against physical cold boot attacks by encrypting memory contents. Following user backlash reported by Ars Technica, AMD has announced it will reinstate the protection in consumer CPUs.
Why it matters: AMD Ryzen CPU users who rely on TSME for defense against physical memory attacks should verify the feature is re-enabled in their systems, and organizations managing consumer AMD deployments need to confirm the reinstated protection is active.
