AMD releases new Windows 11/10 chipset driver for Ryzen 9000, 8000, 7000, 5000, 3000,

[harlan4096]

AMD has released a new chipset driver for desktop sockets AM5 and AM4, as well as for the mobile platforms. The new driver, version 7.04.09.545, is compatible with Ryzen 9000 (Zen 5), Ryzen 7000/8000G (Zen 4) AM5 CPUs, and also with Ryzen 5000/5000G (Zen 3), Ryzen 4000G/3000 (Zen 2), all the way down to Ryzen 1000 (Zen 1).

The previous AMD chipset driver, version 7.02.13.148, was a major release as it added the new AMD Application Compatibility Database Driver, which is said to make CPU swapping simpler, and also improved support for the Microsoft Pluton security processor.

The new chipset driver package, however, does not add any new programs or drivers, though AMD has provided a workaround for an issue that won't let users revert to a previous driver series version.

The full changelog is given below:
