This proposal is ok to me.

I'm not sure whether it can be added to MdePkg, just like add to CpuLib. I found all the definitions and functions used in StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD function defined in MdePkg.

If it can be added to MdePkg, all code base can use this function, if it been added to UefiCpuPkg, other core packages may can't use it.

Thanks,
Eric

Since all platform DSCs have already listed UefiCpuLib.inf so this change doesn't impact platform DSC.
I don't see an issue with this change.

Eric,
What's your opinion?

Thanks,
Ray
