AMD officially launches the new range of its Ryzen 6000 processors. These new processors have a unexpected surprise due to the good understanding between Californians and Microsoft. And it should not be forgotten that the relationship between the two companies has been performing well for years, and it can be seen in the GPUs with which they power the new Xbox Series and those that rode the previous Xbox One X.
The point is, the new Ryzen 6000 are the first to use the chip Microsoft PlutoSaid so, it looks like something from NASA, but it is actually a sophisticated piece of hardware that performs a basic but vital function, protecting the equipment from malware attacks and crypto attacks.
Microsoft Pluto is the future of PC security
This is a new chip designed to offer security similar to that of the Xbox but on Windows computers and AMD is the first manufacturer to launch a product that is equipped with it, ahead of Intel and Qualcomm. Without being a PC security expert myself, the summary of The edge This was understandable to me, and they say that basically Pluto is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) added to the CPU and blocks attack vectors try to compromise the PC.
Remember Specter and Meltdown, the infamous vulnerabilities that infected hundreds of thousands of computers? Well, Pluto is working so that’s not a problem. Microsoft has taken everything it has learned from Xbox and its way of blocking and preventing hacking and putting it on a chip for Windows. According to Lisa Su, CEO of AMD:
The Ryzen 6000 series will be the first PC processor to incorporate the Microsoft Pluto security processor. Our joint development work with Microsoft eliminates full attack vectors on laptops, better protecting critical data such as system credentials, user identities, encryption keys, and personal information.
Considering the fact that Xbox One was once the only console that cannot be hacked, and this has been extended to the Xbox Series, it looks like this scalable, hardware-based solution can perform very well.
