AMD Watch posted an update
AMD’s proposed Linux Ryzen Overclocking Driver would let users adjust three CPU power and current limits: PPT, TDC and EDC. Notebookcheck reports that the submitted patches also expose memory-clock readings and a firmware-level control for enabling or disabling simultaneous multithreading.
Why it mattersThere are strings attached: changes to those power limits need a reboot, and the driver covers only a small part of the tuning options available through AMD firmware. It is a useful foundation for Linux tools, not a Ryzen Master replacement in disguise.
Discuss: Would you use Linux CPU-tuning controls that require a reboot, or is a live graphical tool essential?
