phoronix Linux 5.10 Adding Support For AMD Zen 3 CPU Temperature Monitoring

The next version of the Linux kernel will allow monitoring temperatures of the upcoming AMD Zen 3 processors.

While CPU temperature monitoring support may seem mundane and not newsworthy, what makes this Zen 3 support genuinely interesting is that it's coming pre-launch... This is the first time in the AMD Zen era we are seeing CPU temperature reporting added to the Linux driver pre-launch. Not only is it coming ahead of the CPUs hitting retail channels but the support was added by AMD engineers.

This is great, having pre-launch support is going to help a lot with getting the new Zen3 parts rolled out.

 

From what I've seen, most of the kernel already supports the functions of Zen3 but some of the power plan related things still need to be plumbed in, assuming there are some new improvements that can be activated, otherwise it will just fall back to the rest of Zen support.

 

I'm still interested in seeing better PBO and Ryzen Master support in Linux to save BIOS tweaking.
