AGESA 1.0.0.6b Might Fix The Ryzen Linux Performance Marginality Problem

Motherboard vendors have begun pushing out BIOS updates for Ryzen motherboards using the AMD AGESA 1.0.0.6b revision and it's reported that it does resolve the "Performance Marginality Problem" affecting early Ryzen Linux customers. .


Latest BIOS has been out for nearly two weeks on some motherboards. Thing is, its not clear what it fixes or improves. Some folks think it fixes the Linux issue that a few users were having.

I'm not updating BIOS to this version on my motherboard -- unless I know its better for my Windows 10 uses. At least one person wrote to say flashing the BIOS bricked their new system (that happens randomly with any CPU and motherboard -- so, flash BIOS at own risk). The current BIOS works fine for me and my "vanilla" settings with small CPU and Memory overclocks.
