Temperature monitoring for the first gen Ryzen chips has been in the kernel for about a year. The patch for second gen is there but narrowly missed the 5.0 release window, so it should land in the first release after 5.0.
Intel is a bit faster about this but it's not like they have perfect day 1 kernel support either. i.e. temperature monitoring drivers for both first gen Ryzen and Coffee Lake landed in 4.15. At the time Ryzen was almost a year old and Coffee Lake was about half a year old.

- silotis 8y agoBased on personal experience temperature monitoring on Coffee Lake worked just fine with 4.14. I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a breaking change in Intel's interface for this since at least Sandy Bridge.
- opencl 8y agoInteresting, 4.15 had a patch specifically for Coffee Lake thermal support. Maybe it was specific to the mobile chips. http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1711.2/00864.html http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1711.2/00864.html
- chrisper 8y agoThanks. It's not easy to find information like this. How did you find it?
- opencl 8y agoI just Googled "ryzen temperature monitoring linux". I've had a Ryzen 1700 since they first came out so I was following the Linux support for that fairly closely at the time, mostly by browsing Phoronix fairly frequently. Thankfully after a few months I didn't need to because things were working pretty well by then, other than the thermal monitoring that took quite a while to land. Linux and brand new hardware rarely seem to get along well regardless of the vendor unfortunately.
