I think this is a bit of a stretch from tomshardware, as if you actually read the statement https://i.imgur.com/pM358j6.jpg it doesn't actually say what the problem is, or even that there is a problem. Just they released a new BIOS that has more limitations.

And the other "evidence" of a photo of a damaged pin pad on a ryzen processor shows the damaged pins aren't related to the SoC rail mentioned in the article.
