MSI has just rolled out an exciting new BIOS update featuring the AGESA 1.2.0.2 firmware for its AM5 chipset, promising notable improvements in latency and performance for AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” CPUs. This eagerly awaited update comes after ASUS’ recent release and is now available for several B650 and A620 motherboards, with updates for the premium X670 series expected soon.
Users can look forward to reduced inter-core latency and overall enhanced performance thanks to this BIOS update. While it is currently in BETA, MSI assures users that a final release will be available later this month. The update also introduces MSI’s usual firmware enhancements, like the 105W TDP mode for Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X CPUs.
To get this new BIOS, users can visit the support page of MSI’s website specific to their product. Additionally, it’s exciting to note that the AMD X870E and X870 motherboards expected later this month will come pre-loaded with these improvements, offering top-tier out-of-the-box performance for Ryzen 9000 CPUs.
Moreover, the new AGESA 1.2.0.1a and subsequent updates include preliminary support for the yet-to-be-launched AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs, anticipated to hit the market in Q4 2024. These CPUs are set to deliver stellar gaming performance, just in time to compete with the upcoming Core Ultra 200 CPUs from rival manufacturers.
