Amd cambia idea su supporto a serie 4000 da parte di B450 e X470

Nuovo annuncio ufficiale da parte di AMD:

AMD Plan for B450/X470 support for Zen3 processors:

1. We will develop and enable our motherboard partners with the code to support “Zen 3”-based processors in select beta BIOSes for AMD B450 and X470 motherboards.
2. These optional BIOS updates will disable support for many existing AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processor models to make the necessary ROM space available.
3. The select beta BIOSes will enable a one-way upgrade path for AMD Ryzen Processors with “Zen 3,” coming later this year. Flashing back to an older BIOS version will not be supported.
4. To reduce the potential for confusion, our intent is to offer BIOS download only to verified customers of 400 Series motherboards who have purchased a new desktop processor with “Zen 3” inside. This will help us ensure that customers have a bootable processor on-hand after the BIOS flash, minimizing the risk a user could get caught in a no-boot situation.
5. Timing and availability of the BIOS updates will vary and may not immediately coincide with the availability of the first “Zen 3”-based processors.
6. This is the final pathway AMD can enable for 400 Series motherboards to add new CPU support. CPU releases beyond “Zen 3” will require a newer motherboard.
7. AMD continues to recommend that customers choose an AMD 500 Series motherboard for the best performance and features with our new CPUs.

In sostanza AMD renderà disponibili i codici per supportare ZEN 3, ma una volta upgradata la mainboard con tali Bios non verranno più supportate diverse Cpu Ryzen e per tutte le future Cpu sarà necessaria una nuova mainboard.

In caso di problemi con il bios, inoltre, non sarà supportata alcuno modalità per fare il downgrade dello stesso.
