AMD Releases Updated Ryzen Chipset Software
AMD has recently released an updated version (5.08.02.027) of its Ryzen Chipset software. This update includes bug fixes for various components and introduces application support for new programs and drivers.
The package now includes three new components: the AMD SFH 1.1 driver, the AMD PMF-7040Series driver, and the AMD Interface driver. The SFH driver, also known as the Sensor Fusion Hub, is a mobile-relevant component that allows the operating system to utilize various sensory devices such as cameras and motion sensors. The PMF-7040 driver provides Platform Management Framework and is specific to the Ryzen 7040-series "Phoenix" mobile processors. The purpose of the AMD Interface driver is currently unknown.
AMD's first processor with 3D V-cache, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, did not face optimization issues as it was a single-CCD processor. However, the company's latest processors, the 7900X3D and 7950X3D, are dual-CCD processors with one CCD featuring 64 MB 3D V-cache on top of the 32 MB on-die L3 cache, while the other CCD only has the on-die 32 MB L3 cache. To ensure that the workload is scheduled correctly, AMD has been using a driver to assist the Windows scheduler. The purpose of the AMD Interface driver could be to serve as a backend for an application that controls the 3D V-cache or for the Ryzen Master software.
If AMD plans to give end-users the ability to customize the scheduling of the 3D V-cache, it is likely that they will add this functionality to the Ryzen Master app. If there is a separate front-end application for this task, it is probably not publicly available and is intended for AMD and its ISV partners.
