When AMD released their AM4 socket they promised that the platform would stand the test of time by offering support for future Ryzen CPUs, ensuring that users would not require a motherboard upgrade for at least a couple of AMD CPU generations. 

In recent months rumours of a new AGESA update have been flying around the internet, with previous AGESA iterations providing increases in performance and/or stability with Ryzen CPUs, with many expecting AGESA version 1.0.0.7 to do the same. Now we know that this new AGESA version is designed to offer support for future Ryzen CPUs on the AM4 platform, like AMD’s Raven Ridge APUs or Pinnacle Ridge CPUs. 

ASUS has now released new BIOS updates for the bulk of their AM4 range of motherboards, offering an “Update to AGESA 1071 for new upcoming processors”, though strangely ASUS’ flagship CrossHair VI series of motherboards have not received this update yet.  

Below is a list of ASUS motherboards that now have an AGESA 1071 BIOS;

ASUS Prime X370-Pro
ASUS Prime X370-A
ASUS ROG Strix B350-F Gaming 
ASUS ROG Strix X370-F Gaming
ASUS ROG Strix B350-I Gaming
ASUS ROG Stix X370-I Gaming

This new BIOS update is expected to be rolled out to other ASUS AM4 motherboards soon, leaving ASUS as the first motherboard manufacturer to be ready for AMD’s next big CPU release, which is expected to be in early 2018.
