Not long ago, AMD said that AM5 slots will become a longevity platform like AM4. But light longevity can not be, the quality of life must continue to improve, including X370, B350 and A320 including the 300 series motherboard is fully compatible with the Ryzen 5000 processor, when can you support Ryzen 5000?
As early as December of the previous year, ASRock secretly released the beta version of the BIOS through unconventional channels, but it may not be able to publicly release it on the official website due to some pressure. Other motherboard manufacturers are also very cautious, do not dare to cross the thunder pool one step, many players in order to let the 300 series of old motherboards use the new Ryzen, at the risk of forcing the refreshing of different models of motherboard BIOS: there are both successful results and failure cases.
Until last month, a BIOS update for some 300 Series motherboards officially unlocked Ryzen 4000G APU support. The SMU version also shows that they also support the Ryzen 5000, but some players have found that the Ryzen 5000 is still restricted from booting.
The good news is that ASRock may now have received AMD's approval and officially released a public BIOS update on the official website, allowing the 300 series motherboard to support the Ryzen 5000. Since most browsers no longer support the outdated FTP protocol, global nodes should be selected when downloading from ASRock's official website.
The CPU support list now publicly lists four Ryzen 5000 processors, but does not include the Ryzen 5000G series. In addition, due to BIOS capacity limitations, the 7th Generation A Series APUs will not be supported after updating to this BIOS. Not surprisingly, other motherboard manufacturers will follow suit, allowing the first AM4 platform to use the latest generation of Ryzen™ processors.
The last processor of the AM4 interface, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, will be available this spring, and it is believed that AMD should write a happy ending for the AM4 interface.
