Over 100 Improvements to be included in upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000: AGESA 1.0.0.4
While everybody is moving towards AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA to squeeze out every last drop of performance from Ryzen 3000 processors, AMD is already at work on AGESA 1.0.0.4 as unreached boost frequencies issues have been resolved, the new firmware is to bring new features towards the platform.
It was MSI who shared a few details, AGESA 1.0.0.4 will be released next month in November and includes over a hundred improvements and new features. MSI state a "1004 BIOS with 100+ fixes will follow in November ", but in the video they point out that this will be "100+ Enhancements and Features ". So 'fixes' was poorly written.
As to what fixes, features and enhancements there will be we can only speculate, however it is rumored for a while already that AMD will include an actual proper overclocking menu inside on the BIOS side of things. The new AGESA firmware will be distributed towards motherboard manufacturers next week, likely we'll see some beta BIOSes this month already to see what exactly is going on.

No, don't do it !!!
You might not be able to boot your computer if by any chance they removed support for Gen 1 in the new bios.
Be VERY careful.
However, if you plan to buy a 3700x-3800x as an upgrade, that will work nicely, B350 should still be supported just fine !
very appreciate

great advice - new bios updates for some vendors / most far as i've seen resulted in scaled back uefi to accommodate more microcode, the newer gen of cpus, resulted in exclusion of some earlier AM4 gen cpus as current pre X570 chipsets 16-megabyte EEPROMs are running out of space.

I have a feeling all this is in preparation for 3950X launch, which is very likely to take the complete desktop/gaming performance crown away from all Intel CPUs (yes, including 9900KS)
Even if 3950X will not hit 5Ghz, it might get very close to it ( 4.9 on short bursts ), and with the higher IPC (of around 10%), that would require that 9900K(s) to be overclocked to 5.3-5.4 to match, and that's just golden sample clocks on high-end cooling, most people can't get past 5.2.
And having 16 cores is just the cherry on top, there will be NO benchmark in which any Intel consumer or HEDT CPU will have a clear win.
Oh and then Threadripper comes to completely obliterate everything in it's path...
Exciting times !

MSI is deploying it now for B450 boards (none Max).
