Ryzen has been a major disruption in the CPU market,
which was once handily dominated by Intel. Desktop Ryzen CPUs continue
to offer an excellent price/performance ratio, often beating out Intel
from a pure value standpoint. However, there’s still a thorn in AMD’s
side: laptops and mobile processors.
Though there are a few Ryzen-based laptops
on the market, they are few and far between. One of the main hurdles
for Ryzen mobile’s adoption is AMD's notoriously slow driver updates,
specifically graphics drivers. AMD responded to complaints in a Reddit
thread earlier this week and is “committing to work with [their] OEMs to
increase the release frequency of AMD Ryzen Mobile processor graphics
drivers.”

drivers.”
The company blamed the slow driver rollouts on OEM
design, saying that AMD graphics drivers are “typically tailored for
specific OEM platforms.” As such, it takes a lot of time to push out a
new graphics driver considering that each OEM is different. AMD said
that releasing a generic APU driver wasn’t feasible because of this, as a
general driver would “result in less-than-ideal user experiences.”
