The headline is a little misleading: the feature has disappeared from consumer chips but AMD is not responding when asked why. As the article itself says: it's not clear if this is a deliberate decision, or a bug that has caused this issue.

The headline implies it was a deliberate action. Maybe it was, but at the moment we don't really know. But it is good that Toms Hardware is writing about this and drawing attention to this issue. It's concerning regardless of the reason, and it's also concerning how cagey AMD is being about addressing this issue.
