ASUS has released beta BIOS updates for several of its AM5 motherboards, restoring Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) support for non-Pro Ryzen 9000 CPUs. This move comes after community backlash regarding AMD's decision to quietly remove the security feature from its consumer-grade processors. The beta updates, based on AGESA ComboAM5 PI 1.3.0.1b Patch A, appear to reinstate TSME earlier than AMD's previously stated July timeline, with specific ROG, TUF Gaming, and ProArt boards receiving the updates.
