AMD threw Intel a curve ball in February when the chip company announced its Ryzen CPUs would launch in early March. They are fast and significantly cheaper than Intel's equivalent Core processors. It even led to some price cuts by Intel.

 

But with Ryzen chips now making their way into desktop PCs, AMD experienced its first major problem. All variants of the Ryzen 7 desktop processors are locking up PCs. The issue is related to FMA3 code, which are a set of streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) that can greatly enhance the performance of floating point operations carried out by the chips. FMA3 isn't new. AMD added support for the instruction set back in 2012.

 

Story continues.......  Just a refresher for those that purchased the AMD Ryzen CPU...  Original story dated March 22nd, 2017.

This news is over a year old and I remember the original story being posted here so it's also a repost.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
