Currently, ASUS, MSI and Biostar have released the new updates for AGESA 0070 and AGESA 0072 for their respective motherboards. Not all motherboards are currently receiving BIOS updates, but they will shortly, they say.

According to Wccftech sources, the first batch with engineering samples of these new processors was delivered to partners in February and a new batch is coming this month, so we understand that it makes sense to support them right now by manufacturing partners.

Such early Ryzen 3000 support ensures that it will have solid compatibility with older X370 and X470 motherboards at launch. Regardless, AMD is already paving the way to launch the X570 chipset with an enhanced feature set for this new Ryzen series. We will keep you informed.
