wonder if will ever see the "bug" that has been around in crimson since day 1, that is clock speeds stay higher than they should be as well as higher volts increasing power draw and will not drop back to the lower clock/voltages (minimum clock/voltage) if there was a chrome instance launched for X amount of time, or you were playing a game and completely exit the game back to desktop (should be full idle minimum clock/volts)
I think AMD is doing a very good job overall, but one thing they desperately need to fix is power "waste" when the gpu does not "reduce" power/clocks when the extra "speed" is not at all needed.
example, I check my email, no 3d load at all, auto jumps clocks, might reduce back a bit but often enough forces the memory clock to "default" and keeps a "mid" core clock and core volts level...when streaming or playing a game I can understand this, but it seems drivers are not as polished as they should be (this stage of the game) to watch the clock rate/volts up and down constantly when you KNOW they DO NOT need to be doing this.
I think IMO they should invest a bit of $ on a proper "moderator" chip/circuit of sorts with more steps allowed for say 10 clock and self learning voltages..it is funny that VRM designs can use up to something like 18 stage to get the best most stable voltage and reduction in heat as possible, but they have not done so with clock/voltages of what they feed to the cpu/gpu...
at least Ryzen is fairly "fine grained" where it can adjust volts/clocks in 25Mhz increments in under 1ms...they really need to do this with the Radeon drivers and Radeon GPU as well ^.^
(especially for single GPU users..I can understand multi-gpu would be more difficult to do this concept)
and the issue with the APUs and notebooksform AGES ago.. STILL NOT FIXED but now the error says: Radeon settings are currently not available. please try again after connecting AMD graphics
sigh.. i guess this will never be fixed.. and this notebook.. is nothing more then something to check email, and read webpages... cant play any games on it like this.......
He actually read the article correctly. You did not.
This driver adds support for desktop Ryzen APU products but not mobile. The article also says no news on notebooks. What you read was that it supports desktop, mobile and integrated but the first two obviously refer to discrete graphics.
Besides, people are complaining on Reddit that this driver package isn't supported on their Ryzen laptops and some are still stuck on launch drivers from October.

Have you reported it to AMD?Qasar - Thursday, May 24, 2018 - link

So Mobile Ryzen still MIA ... Thank you AMD, THANK YOU !!!Ket_MANIAC - Thursday, May 24, 2018 - link
What are you getting agitated about? The article clearly says unified drivers across desktop/mobile. Read the article before shouting unnecessarily.Trixanity - Thursday, May 24, 2018 - link

Thank you :-) At least the previously announced Q2 2018 Raven Ridge driver works on Ryzen mobile ...awehring - Thursday, May 24, 2018 - link
I still do not get it:Does this driver support PlayReady 3.0 at APUs?
Is it the same driver as Adrenalin Edition Q2 2018?

No, only RX 400 and 500 series (Polaris). Vega-based graphics will come later.SydneyBlue120d - Thursday, May 24, 2018 - link
Still no 2160p60 VP9 support, right?
