Looks like AMD is replacing AGESA with "openSIL". Guess they thought AGESA was too purrimitive. #CatPuns #AMD #openSIL

#AMD Open System Firmware to Replace #AGESA On Server, Client CPUs by 2026 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-open-system-firmware-agesa

"AMD admitted that openSIL still has a long road ahead but confirmed that #openSIL is very close to parity with AGESA. However, AMD's last roadmap shows Zen 5 for 2024, and openSIL won't be ready until 2026. Coincidentally, AMD will support the AM5 socket until 2026. Therefore, we're looking at Zen 6 or even Zen 7 before seeing a finished product. Sadly, AMD didn't share a projected roadmap for openSIL on the client side. But one thing is certain. AMD will eventually replace AGESA on all its products with openSIL."

#AMD #openSIL Will Eventually Replace AGESA, Supporting Both Client & Server CPUs

-- "AMD openSIL will be scaling to both server and client platforms by the 2026 timeframe...AGESA will be end of life, [AMD] openSIL will replace it on all products."

Seems AMD with #openSIL could end up more open than RISC-V with their affinity to vintage hardware architecture #OpenSBI.
