With the recent announcement of the Ryzen 5000 processors from AMD, based on the Zen 3 architecture, it’s time to get our motherboards ready in time for the November 5th launch. So here we have compiled a list of all the 500 series motherboards from different manufacturers that are now ready for the new Zen 3 CPUs.
The new processors from AMD will require an update for your AMD 500 series motherboards BIOS to AGESA 1.0.8.0 or newer, with AGESA 1.1.0.0 recommended by AMD for the best performance where available (which currently only MSI offers).
“AMD 500 series motherboards are ready for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processors with a simple BIOS update. This broad ecosystem support and readiness includes over 100 AMD 500 series motherboards from all major motherboard manufacturers,” said AMD in their official blog post.
As promised, AMD will also be rolling out a BIOS update to support the new Ryzen 5000 processors for 400 series motherboards like the B450 or X470, however that will only be available in January 2021.
