Rather than increment the major number when they get to the end of the series they seem to just go back to the beginning again.
Well got Me interested enough to start considering buying x570 board for my mates build to have a play and see if I like the changes
Have had z77 motherboards VRM section going in actual smoke on 3 week old board so stayed away from them.
I confirm its stupid....
Are you confirming that old gen boards will be compatible on release, but in no way optimised for best performance?
AMD have said a lot....
Dear me!!!! I have zero remit in MB sales....
I test everything I don't trust a word any vendor, manufacturer, reviewer or sales rep tells me.....
The older chipset boards are way behind in tuning and or Agesa code and other perf features.... MB vendors are putting Bios resources into the new stuff.... Which they should this gives them repeat business and has all the features to support the new CPUs to full potential.
thank would be nice
3950x OC'd out it's mind on LN2 on a A320 mobo?
id expect them to at least work at stock clocks with ddr 3200 cas 16, anything better is a plus on first gen boards, 2nd gen expect slightly better mem speeds.

Any chance you can give us your top picks for x470 running new Ryzen 3xxx chips? I'm hoping I invested wisely in this ASRock Taichi!
Hope we can expect an IN HOME review with numbers and suggestions When stuff goes live Sunday ?? At least can see some good overclocking numbers

I imagine there will be a few reviewers trying the cpu's out on the diff gen boards to see if theres any artificial gimping going on.
I absolutely expect levels of gimping, but I don't think it will be artificial. From the recent AMD video talking about their new boost thing, it sounds like motherboards with worse power delivery will have lower boosts for shorter times than motherboards with good power delivery.
EDIT - This video:
very true
However, i wonder how many of those WILL actually upgrade, how many will decide the current pricing is too high and jump on Zen+ following the price drops. R5 2600 @ ~128 quid for example is going to tempt a whole swathe of budget minded potential Zen2 customers down that route with a view to jumping on Zen2(or Zen2+/3 - whatever it's called) at a later date. so i really don't think stock will be an issue. that said i could be horribly wrong and there could be fist fights in the car park outside OcUK on Monday morning with 8pack acting as bouncer!!

Tried the Asus Strix X470-F by any chance?
(Hopefully in before you get tired of answering these questions...)
Yeah the naming scheme is dumb. There are 4 different AGESA "major" versions, the most recent of which being ComboPI. I've seen BIOSs with ComboPI 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, and 1.0.0.3 so far. The last PinnaclePI AGESA, which was for Pinnacle Ridge CPUs, was 1.0.0.7 I think.
I would also be very interested in this
