I give you my processor driver tab from device manager:

Screenshot 2023-04-13 173143.jpg

I have installed the latest AMD chip drivers, but my CPU driver still says that the driver is from Microsoft and dated 2009, no less. Do any of you other Ryzen users have this in device manager? If you have an AMD driver for the CPU, how did you get it there?

I'm baffled. This seems really counter-intuitive to me. Chipset drivers should upgrade the CPU driver, no?

No, there are no real CPU drivers (handled by microcode). Chipset drivers are for the motherboard and it's peripherals.

I believe all the Ryzen drivers are from Microsoft 2009. I know my 3700X is.

The driver you really need to be concerned with is the motherboard chipset driver. Keep that up to date.

That one is definitely always up to date. I was just under the impression that it did the CPU as well. Live and learn. Thanks for the good answer.
