"One big benefit of using the packaged driver: working ROCm OpenCL compute! OpenCL compute benchmarks on the packaged driver are coming in a separate article today. The OpenCL/compute support for Radeon RX 6800 series is working and better off than the current RDNA 1 support. It's great to see things working in the limited testing thus far. Presumably for the imminent ROCm 4.0 release they will also have the Big Navi support independent of the packaged driver, but in any case great to see it coming."

We are aware of a new white paper that claims potential security exploits in AMD CPUs, whereby a malicious actor could manipulate a cache-related feature to potentially transmit user data in an unintended way. The researchers then pair this data path with known and mitigated software or speculative execution side channel vulnerabilities. AMD believes these are not new speculation-based attacks.
AMD continues to recommend the following best practices to help mitigate against side-channel issues:
Keeping your operating system up-to-date by operating at the latest version revisions of platform software and firmware, which include existing mitigations for speculation-based vulnerabilities
Following secure coding methodologies
Implementing the latest patched versions of critical libraries, including those susceptible to side channel attacks
Utilizing safe computer practices and running antivirus software"
It's fine for showing off of far the chip can go, but nothing someone would have under the desk.

Once a portable app shows up in the reports you are simply fired by blatant disregard for the rules and procedures you agreed to when signing your contract.
Finance is a heavily regulated environment and you can't get away with things that would be excusable in other places.
Blame Samsung for still keeping a button layout that doesn't apply to android since the original 4.0 came out.
