AMD FW13 fan behaviour and ramp-up times

After updated my 12th-gen Intel based Framework 13 to the latest firmware (BIOS 3.17, etc.), I’m finding that the fan curve is tied to a sensor that will randomly report spikes in temperature, causing the fan to spike up to the maximum speed for a half a second randomly, while the laptop is under light load. I posted about that elsewhere, but I’m mentioning it here in reply to this message just to say that a similar firmware update on the 12th-gen Intel platform would also be useful.

As far as I can tell, temperature readings from the CPU on my system are more accurate than the readings from the sensor that’s currently being used to control the fan.
