I AMD Ryzen series processors 5000 are the latest arrivals among the company’s desktop proposals American agenda, built with manufacturing technology at 7 nanometers and based on Zen 3 architecture . Initially proposed for pairing with AMD chipset-based AM4 socket motherboards 500, these processors can also be paired to models with AMD chipset 400 starting from the month of January when the various manufacturers will release compatible bios versions.

AMD initially ruled out compatibility of these new CPUs with AMD series chipset-based AM4 socket motherboards 300 , the first range compatible with Ryzen processors that debuted in 2017.

ASRock has developed beta bios for 16 of its AMD chipset based motherboards from family 300 , including models X 370, B 350 it’s at320. These beta bios have been made available for download on the Asian site HKEPC, accessible at this address. With these bios compatibility with all Ryzen CPUs is ensured 5000 available on the market at the present time, but it is not guaranteed the operation always and fully stable with these chips.

After all they are beta bios , which implement the firmware AGESA V.1.1.0.0 but which due to their beta nature, they cannot offer the same level of operational stability as a final bios. For those who own an ASRock motherboard based on AMD chipset 300 and want to try an upgrade on the card it is therefore also possible to install a Ryzen CPU 5000: the advice is to try not with one of the top models but maybe with the Ryzen one 5 5600 X with 6 core architecture, capable of excellent performance for the cost at which it is proposed.
