AMD said that it will support the original 300 series motherboard to run the Ryzen™ 5000 processor

The three or four generations of Zen architecture that have been released can be said to be gradually getting better, and the latest Ryzen 5000 series has achieved a double harvest of sales and word of mouth.

In a recent conversation with the media, David McAfee, AMD's vice president of enterprise and general manager of consumer channels, made it clear that AMD is looking for a solution to make the Ryzen™ 5000 processor run on the 300 series motherboard.

In fact, some time ago, some manufacturers updated the bios, actually let the A320 chipset can light up the Ryzen™ 5000, however, the relatively high-end B350 and X370 are absent.

AMD's statement also fulfills their commitment to long-term support for the AM4 interface, which has actually been in service for 6 years since the launch of AM4 by the seventh generation APU (Bristol Ridge) in 2016.

According to McAfee, the reason why the 300 series has not supported the Ryzen 5000 is that the storage BIOS and the SPI ROM that provides chip support are only 16MB, which requires very detailed feature trade-offs, on the other hand, AMD initially thought that running the Ryzen™ 5000 on the 300 series could not achieve the completion of the functional experience, but followed the principle of "I can not use, you can not do without", compromised.

Although the Zen4 Ryzen™ 7000 will switch to the AM5 interface (LGA1718), AMD has stated that it will support at least four or five years like the AM4, so the 600 series in the second half of next year is assured to start.
