AMD releases new Windows chipset drivers for Ryzen 8000, 7000, 5000, 4000, 3000, and more

AMD today has released new chipset drivers for its socket AM5, AM4, as well as mobile platforms. The company is yet to publish the release notes of the new driver (we waited a while to see but there's still nothing at the moment). As such, we don't exactly know what the changelog holds.

Regardless, it is good to see that the company is out with a new chipset driver after a long time, and also considering it has been the holiday season in the U.S.

Chipset drivers typically improve or address bugs or issues with Windows power plans, USB, among others. They also add optimizations for newly released processors which is a high possibility this time as AMD just released its Ryzen 8000 G-series desktop APUs for Socket AM5. The performance-cutting STAPM bug though is more likely to be resolved via firmware update.

You can download the new AMD chipset driver version 6.01.25.342 from this page on AMD's official website.

Besides the chipset driver, AMD has also released a new special display driver for Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League under Adrenalin Edition 23.40.02.03. Its release notes are as follows:
