Good news from AMD as the company is changing its Ryzen Mobile driver policy. Starting later this quarter, laptops with Ryzen Mobile APUs will receive support directly from AMD. Customers will receive more and better driver support, which will be very welcome as support for Ryzen Mobile was very poor.
Part of AMD's announcement also touched on a policy change in its Windows driver line-up. Starting in Q1, any laptop with a Ryzen Mobile CPU that uses integrated graphics will be supported direct from AMD with a single driver package to cover all devices. This will, according to AMD, enable them with Day 0 driver support for the latest game titles and updates, as well as simplify the process between AMD, OEMs, and end users. This proved to be an especially rough point of friction with gamers and other power users on the first-generation parts, so it's a significant improvement in how AMD is going about driver support.
