Update on post-launch BIOS updates earlier post , we’ve been working with our upstream suppliers to get dedicated staffing place for post-launch BIOS updates. Until now, we’ve been doing releases like this 3.06 Beta with borrowed resourcing from those suppliers, which meant that when we found regressions in it, we couldn’t get the necessary support to resolve them and ship a final version. Now, we have a negotiated contract for a dedicated team to provide ongoing software work post-launch.
The contract is the starting point. From here, our supplier needs to reallocate or hire the new team members, and we need to work with that team to get them up to speed on our hardware and codebase. The first project this team is working on will be 12th Gen BIOS. After that, they will be rotating between releases on 11th Gen, 12th Gen, 13th Gen, Ryzen 7040 Series, and future products as needed.
From a year and a half ago after Ars Technica put them on blast.
Nothing changed. “It’s not our fault!
Acknowledgement of issues unfortunately doesn’t mean it will actually be addressed.
