Serve The Home recently revealed that Lenovo uses AMD Platform Secure Boot, also known as AMD PSB, for their desktop platforms, especially the AMD Ryzen PRO-based systems to vendor lock the processor to their brand lines. The website has run a few features on the vendor locking process, and a recent video from the site on YouTube explains the purpose of AMD PSB and the advantages and disadvantages of the process.
