AMD CPUs are used on servers so there is no reason they won't make all it's possible to have a stable system, are you referring to AMD GPUs? I read it takes up to 1 year after release until the graphics driver gets stable on Linux.
- numpad0 7y agoRyzen 1st-gen had the segfault issue, RNG issue, voltage/clock related ones and few more. RX480 and 580 were exact same chips, only the latter was mature manufacturing wise and had completely different firmware resulting in a superior performance. It’s true that AMD products has yield(as anyone else) as well as parameter tuning/compatibility issues especially early on. I don’t think their issues are of reliability kinds(like early failure in industrial Intel Atom) though.
