Question Apologies up front, but have to ask...

We have all seen and are aware of the CPU type and certain other factors which determine the ability to upgrade to Windows 11.

Have there been no determiners or specifics made on the chipset as part of that requirement?

I've not seen anything.

And the CPU/TPM thing seems to be changing daily.

If a release could be more clouded with uncertainty.....

The CPU itself implements TPM 2.0 features, the chipset has nothing to do with it.

The chipset in platforms made in the past 10 years are just there to support additional peripherals. Intel's has more secret sauce in it, but for the most part the CPU determines the core capabilities of the computer.

I can't say for Intel but TPM on ryzen CPU is actually run on an ARM processor embedded in the CPU, it boots before the main cores do and handles security for PC.

According to an AMD developer's guide, the subsystem is "responsible for creating, monitoring and maintaining the security environment" and "its functions include managing the boot process, initializing various security related mechanisms, and monitoring the system for any suspicious activity or events and implementing an appropriate response
