Borislav Petkov proposes AI-assisted AMD Zen detection cleanup for Linux

Developer Borislav Petkov recently submitted a proposal to the kernel development mailing list aiming to refine hardware detection routines. The engineer explained that artificial intelligence assisted him in writing the revised code. This update is designed to let the system evaluate specific hardware generations, specifically targeting editions like Zen 3 through Zen 5.

The developer mentioned that the new code successfully runs inside a virtual machine, though physical hardware testing has not started yet. Although the system could theoretically support older processors, the creator feels that addition is unnecessary. A forthcoming update will preserve the feature flag for all qualifying chips, provided that other related hardware groups transition away from it first.
