Asus B350 and A320 also support the new bios, so it depends on specific board .
Thanks for giving me some hope, I have the B350m Mortar Arctic board. Hoping MSI gets the bios out

^ I've got a MSI B350M Gaming Pro, we should be alright. They do tend to release the X370/470 BIOS updates first.

Please be Aware! AGESA 0070 for ASUS broke PBO on X470 MB's, same with the beta bios for some MSI boards too, after contacting ASUS they work on solution and released new BIOS with AGESA 0072 version 4602 few days ago (I shared it on thread) and now PBO works, it will be up in the next few days on the official support page. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/PRIME_X470-PRO/PRIME-X470-PRO-ASUS-4602.zip more in this PBO bug: https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-motherboards/1690489-asus-prime-x470-pro-issues-successes-37.html So check before updating if the new Bios is bug free .
not an issue if you do not use PBO and that crap called ryzen master.

@GamerNerves I agree. It's worth pointing out that if the rumors of the 3000 series are true, these new chips are all running nearly 1GHz higher than previous generations with higher core counts and yet their TDPs aren't really any higher.
TDP is not a measure of power consumption, it's a measure of heat production of the chip. A lot of motherboards have a 4 or 6 phase design with doubler(s). For instance the 370 Taichi has a 6+2 phase design and we need to wait and see if it will handle a 10-12 core chip.

I'm well aware, but it still works as a very rough guideline of what the motherboard (and your cooler) can handle. So, it's still relevant. Like I said before, don't expect to be overclocking the 10+ core chips, but they should still work just fine. Their boost clocks probably will be limited but that's more of a chipset limitation rather than power power delivery.

Disappointed the new AMD chips wont be supported by the B350m Motherboards , AMD said it would be supported, they should of either been clear that the budget boards wont work or get the motherboard manufacturers to ensure its supported. Otherwise dont make that claim of support till 2020
Asus B350-I has the AGESA 0072 update and it's a mini ITX, so I wouldn't lose hope yet. I"m sure they will update it. I'm worried they won't support the 125W 3800X or the 135W 3850X but since they haven't officially announced any procs or specs., it's just more exciting speculation based on a few web store ads. B350M is micro but my point is the same. Edit. time to go install! woohoo.

Ok I just updated to AGESA 0072 in my ROG Strix B350-I Gaming and now all of a sudden I have Precision Boost Overdrive options?! 😀 Thanks ASUS and AMD. PBO On! Also, time for another shot at XMP/DOCP 3600, with HH's minor tweak suggestions. Not stable previously, though I was very happy running it at 3200. edit I wrote control instead of overdrive 😳

Still using the launch bios on my aorus board any bios after that limits the voltage So bad I can only get 3.9 on my 2600 i get 4.1 on launch bios wtf???

It doesn't seem to be out for my Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 yet, but I'll keep checking periodically for it. The motherboard certainly has the power phases to handle the upgrade and since it's one of the mid upper range options from Asrock I think it's fairly likely to be supported.

Some 400 chipset boards MAY qualify for Gen 4 signalling when paired with a 3x00 cpu, its not likely to be very many though.
