M: YES released a new press release today announcing the support for Zen 3 on all company motherboards with a series chipset 400 , something that will carry carried out by updating the motherboard BIOS thanks to a new version of AGESA.
While motherboards with chipsets from the 500 are designed from the ground up to support AMD Ryzen processors 5000 , motherboards with chipset series 400 are older, so they will need to be updated with an AMD Ryzen processor 3000 or earlier.
M: YES clarifies that this update will reach all motherboards, whether they are from the MAX range or not , so in principle we should be able to update calmly if we have a motherboard of the company. Although for the boards of the series 500 MSI indicates that the AMD AGESA COMBO PI V2 1.1.0.0 , the version used for the series is not specified 400.
In this way, AMD proves once again the longevity of the socket AM4 , which although it could come to an end with this generation of Ryzen processors, for now there is no specific data as to whether Zen 3 will be the last architecture to work on this socket, or will Zen 4 have such a title.
