AMD is striving to offer full compatibility with Ryzen 5000 on 300 Series motherboards.

AMD is striving to offer full compatibility with Ryzen 5000 on 300 Series motherboards.

AMD is looking at ways to make all Ryzen 5000 processors compatible with motherboards from the 300 series, more than a year after the launch of the processors.

The company's Client Channel Business is headed by David McAfee, Corporate Vice President and General Manager. "We believe this would be useful to the community and are studying how to do this," McAfee said. Several motherboard manufacturers surprisingly enabled Ryzen 5000 CPU compatibility to their A320 series motherboards last month, but they were apparently barred from doing so on their X370 and B350 series motherboards. This received harsh criticism from members of the community. Even though the company indicated that the AM4 socket will be supported for five years, motherboard limitations eventually limited the company's ability to support all Ryzen CPUs across the whole AM4 platform family. The outcome of these limits was AMD's first choice to limit Ryzen 5000 CPUs to newer, more costly 500-series motherboards, which sparked a backlash among the company's supporters. After hearing about it from its customers, the company revised its intentions to add compatibility for these processors on the 400 series motherboards.

 

 

However, the company discontinued support for motherboards in the 300 series, resulting in a problem that has resurfaced.
Because of the large number of processors that can be supported by the socket AM4 architecture, AMD is experiencing BIOS memory limitations (the longest-lasting desktop socket yet). There is insufficient storage given to the BIOS and the associated data required to sustain the processors, resulting in the discontinuation of support for certain platforms due to a lack of available memory. In certain cases, motherboard manufacturers have abandoned BIOS interfaces in favor of simple text-based menus in order to expand the number of processors that may be supported.

Would be nice if X470 would get support for the 5800X3D, but in the end, ZEN4 is so close too...

Asrock is the 1st to have done bios upgrade aviable. (more motherboard compatible than MSI).
The A320 with 11 vrm is gorgeous now it can accept 5900X and more for half the A520 (that bring nothing more and have less vrm).

I would seriously consider getting something like the 5800X if my X370 board were compatible. That CPU should be plenty good enough for a long while.
