AMD Ryzen support for Debian Stretch? Janis Hamme <lists.oss@hamme.info> - 2017-03-03 00:50 +0100

Now that AMD's Ryzen CPUs have been released, I'm wondering if they'll be supported by the upcoming Debian Stretch release. I'm a bit concerned as Stretch comes with Kernel 3.9 but Ryzen support was added to 4.10. Is Debian known to backport hardware support from newer kernel versions? Otherwise a custom or backports kernel would be required from the start. Ryzen CPUs could become quite popular during the lifespan of Debian Strech. It seems to perform fine for Linux applications so far: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen-1800x-linux&num=1 Regards Janis

Example: the current stable Debian can use a backported kernel (I'm doing this on my home desktop).
