AMD restores memory encryption on Ryzen 9000 after pre-launch removal

AMD will restore Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) to consumer Ryzen 9000 processors via July BIOS update. The company had disabled the hardware feature before launch, drawing pushback from security-focused users. TSME encrypts RAM contents at the memory controller, protecting against cold-boot and physical extraction attacks. The reversal signals how sustained community pressure can shift even firmware-level decisions.
