Tom's is trash and should be banned. The original Ars article it mentions is better: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/06/users-cry-foul-after-amd-stripped-memory-crypto-from-its-consumer-cpus/

Sounds like it was never really supported, but available. With the new BIOS update it's no longer available.

If that's the case, AMD shouldn't have problems saying so. Although it's still a very bad move from their part.

I suspect lawyers are involved.

Probably. Also PR to limit damages.

PR is just socially accepted lies
