MSI clarifies Ryzen 5000 Support for Series 400 chipset motherboards

AMD has officially announced Zen3 architecture Ryzen TM 5000 series processors on October 8th. The latest Zen3 processors have significant performance improvements compared to the previous 7nm Ryzen 3000 series processors. 

Processors. For the upcoming processors, MSI has released the latest AGESA COMBO PI V2 1.1.0.0 for all X570 and B550 series motherboards to perfectly utilize the PCI-E 4.0 performance.

Series 400

In response to the upgrade demands, AMD also mentioned the BIOS update for selected 400 series motherboards to support Ryzen  5000 series processors will be ready in January 2021. To respond to our users anticipation, MSI is announcing that all 400 series motherboards, including X470 and B450, MAX, or non-MAX products, will provide BIOS updates later on that can support Ryzen TM 5000 processors. A detailed BIOS release schedule will be announced after the BIOS code is provided by AMD. Please stay tuned for the latest information on msi.com.

Series 300

Regarding the 300 series motherboards, including X370, B350, and A320 chips, AMD's current official information points out that they are not supported. If AMD makes any official updates later, MSI will also provide the latest information on time.

I thought 300 series boards were manufacturer opt-in but otherwise unsupported? Based on this chart, looks like they're just outright not supported, period.

300 were already not officially supported for Zen 2 ( Ryzen 3000 ), but for most boards, it worked.

The recent discussion about support is about 400 series... 300 is already dead and buried.

Tbh, technically it -could- work if AMD really wanted to, as there are no structural changes that prevent it (same DDR4 memory type, same PCI-e 3.0, same mechanism for power delivery, and obviously, same physical socket... but there is no will to do so. Welcome to capitalism ! There is no money to be made on something that was already sold a long time ago.

Beta drivers I'm ok with. Beta bios', no thanks. @wavetrex Capitalism is a good thing, but has nothing to do with this. The 300 series boards are just, old.

If the hardware is compatible but the manufacturer won't provide the necessary software, I think it's a form of planned obsolescence.

nothing wrong with beta bios, it either works or it doesn't get released.
