Microsoft Pluton 2026 silicon no longer serves as TPM on AMD and Qualcomm platforms

Microsoft Pluton is a security processor that provides several hardware security capabilities. This article covers one of them: Pluton's usage as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0).

Beginning with 2026 silicon, Microsoft Pluton no longer serves as the TPM on AMD and Qualcomm platforms. On these platforms, as well as on Intel, TPM 2.0 functionality is instead delivered through the vendor's firmware TPM (fTPM) or a discrete TPM.

Existing devices: Devices built on 2025 or earlier AMD and Qualcomm silicon that ship with Pluton configured as the TPM remain fully serviced and supported. This change applies only to new silicon platforms introduced in 2026 and later.

This change affects only Pluton's TPM functionality. The Pluton security processor will continue to be present and supported on existing and future Windows devices to provide a hardware isolated security environment for Windows.
