MSI officially confirmed, with a press release issued on its website at this address, that will make updated bios available for all its AMD series chipset based motherboards 400 . This will provide full support for AMD Ryzen series processors 5000 , allowing owners of these motherboards to upgrade their system.

AMD CPUs of the Ryzen family 5000 will be on sale from the first days of November in versions with a maximum of 16 core. They are based on 7 nanometer manufacturing technology and integrate the new Zen 3 architecture , for which AMD has stated an increase of IPC (Instruction per Clock, i.e. number of instructions that can be processed for each clock cycle) increased on average by 19% compared to Ryzen processors 3000 now on the market.

MSI has already made available updated bios compatible with the new processors for its AMD chipset-based motherboards of the family 500 . AMD had indicated that for some models of AMD chipset based motherboards 400 an updated compatible bios would be made available, not going to specify the support for all the cards.

MSI has instead chosen to provide support for all these motherboards, without defining a precise timing of availability for the new bios. According to advance information from AMD, it will be necessary to wait until January to be able to install the new Ryzen processors 5000 on motherboard with chipset 400.

MSI, finally, specified in its press release that at the present time AMD does not plan to provide support to the use of Ryzen processors 5000 with motherboards based on series chipsets 300 . By the time AMD were to release bios sources that implement this support, MSI has already made itself available to develop specific bios versions for its motherboards with AMD chipset 300 that extend compatibility to these processors as well.
