AMD alone dropped 50 new CVEs on Thursday, 23 of them rated of "High" concern, meaning they're rated at between 7.0 and 8.9 on the the-point Common Vulnerability Scoring System. Let's start with the 27 flaws in the AMD Graphics Driver for Windows 10 - 18 of them rated High - because at least they're in software and Microsoft and Adobe's patch issuance cadence means readers could be in the mood to fix code.
ASUS announced the introduction of a comprehensive server portfolio based on the latest AMD EPYC 7003 series processors. The new ASUS RS720A, RS700A, RS520A and RS500A-E11 series servers offer refreshed designs based on both dual-socket and single-socket AMD EPYC 7003 series processors.
This new portfolio of HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Apollo systems uses the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processor to provide foundational compute platforms that deliver unmatched performance, security, automation, and remote management capabilities to support a range of critical workloads that are essential to digital transformation. "HPE is addressing these dynamic market needs every step of the way with high-performing solutions that can scale, secure and efficiently run workloads to speed time-to-value," said Neil MacDonald, senior vice president and general manager, Compute Business Group at HPE.
