ASUS 300 and 400 AM4 Motherboards Fully Support AMD Ryzen 3000 Processors

UEFI BIOS update delivers compatibility with 3rd Gen AMD Picasso APUs and Matisse CPUs with no loss of features, highlighting the ASUS commitment to customer care

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Month Date, 2019 ASUS today reiterated that its complete lineup of 300 and 400-series, AM4-socket-based motherboards offer full-feature support for the latest AMD Ryzen™ 3000-series CPUs and APUs, via an easy UEFI BIOS update that’s available immediately.
Not content with creating the industry’s best X570 motherboards, ASUS puts the needs of its customers first, and is committed to providing the best possible BIOS support for both new and existing motherboards. Our engineers have been working to ensure that the both the interface and all key features of the acclaimed ASUS UEFI BIOS are available to users of existing ASUS 300 and 400-series, AM4-socket motherboards. 

Consistent, dependable features and support, via the same award-winning UEFI BIOS interface

A significant benefit of the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS is that our engineers work carefully and methodically to ensure that both the popular graphical interface and all key features are still available to users of all ASUS 300 and 400-series, AM4-socket motherboards. For ASUS customers, regardless of the ROM size of their motherboard, there’s no need to purchase a new motherboard simply to access features that had been available prior to the update. The upshot is that those using ASUS 300 and 400-series, AM4-socket motherboards who wish to upgrade to 3rd Generation Ryzen 3000 APU or CPU can do so safe in the knowledge that their existing BIOS experience and feature set will remain intact. In addition, ASUS will ensure that older CPUs are still supported after the BIOS update. The full compatibility list is as follows:

 

Processor

Bristol Ridge

Summit Ridge

Raven Ridge

Pinnacle Ridge

Picasso

Matisse

A-series APU/Athlon™ CPU

Ryzen™ 1000-series CPU

Ryzen™ 2000s-eries APU/Athlon™ APU

Ryzen™ 2000-series CPU

Updating an ASUS 300 or 400-series, AM4-socket motherboard for compatibility with the latest AMD Ryzen APUs and CPUs processors takes just moments, via one of two simple methods. With the ASUS-exclusive USB BIOS Flashback feature ― which is built in to selected ASUS motherboards ― users need only to download the latest UEFI BIOS to a USB flash drive and connect the motherboard’s power supply; then insert a FAT32-formatted USB drive and press the motherboard’s USB BIOS Flashback or Reset button. No AM4 processor or memory modules need to be in place, and the update will complete in a few moments. Alternatively, users may update via the EZ Flash 3 utility that’s integrated with the ASUS UEFI BIOS. This tool allows the update to be applied via an inserted USB drive or downloaded directly from the internet. The UEFI BIOS update is available from the relevant motherboard-support page, via the ASUS Support website at https://www.asus.com/support.

I noticed a month ago that the latest BIOS for my Crosshair VI Hero (WiFi-ac) was only just over 10MB in size. Makes me wonder why MSI and other vendors have BIOSes that are filling up their 16MB chips...

thats just the rom image, the firmware requires more than this in operation.

So Asus is really there for customer care and upgrades, but the X570 loses Bristol Ridge, and Ryzen 1 support ?
The B450 only loses Bristol Ridge, and all the others are fine.
What is so different about the X570 Bios that they have to kill two whole processor lines ?

Its a niche case for a Ryzen 1 owner to get an X570, but if he's upgrading to Ryzen 3xxx series, he might want to use the Ryzen 1 to update the Bios ? Or Wait until the X3900/3950 shows itself ?

Wonder what the size of their X570 Bios chip is....
(I have an Asus B450M Pro-Gaming....not flinging poo at Asus for the kicks ;))


edit : As Huggi rightly states below, X570 was never intended to have Ryzen 1 or Bristol Ridge. My bad brain fart, complete bollox.

its probably not economical to test cpu's that would never be used in an x570.

all x570's come with cpu support for 3k chips, how good or bad it is is just a matter of the agesa version.
