AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs

AMD has quietly removed the Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) security feature from its consumer-level Ryzen CPUs, leaving users vulnerable to physical attacks without notification. The company has not officially explained the removal and claims TSME is now only available on Pro CPUs, though the feature previously worked on consumer chips for years. The disappearance is difficult to detect on Windows and Linux systems, meaning most users remain unaware their security protection has been stripped away.
