GIGABYTEone of the leading companies in the field of high-performance hardware and components for playing gamesannounced the publication AGESA BIOS beta 1.1.7.0which is aimed at powering future processors AMD Ryzen 9000 on their AM5 socket motherboards and X670, B650 and A620 chipsets.

In other words, GIGABYTE is already working to support the next generation of AMD desktop processors, which have long been aimed more at gamers and people with very heavy workloads. This is because desktop computers are usually the best choice if you want to keep temperatures under control and have the most powerful hardware with the fewest limitations.

Another fact to mention is AMD’s policy of supporting the same socket for several generations of its processors, which opens the door for already sold motherboards to support the latest processors with a simple BIOS update in the worst case scenario. As a result, GIGABYTE has started to take steps to ensure that its users can use the next generation of desktop Ryzens as soon as possible.

The beta version of the AGESA 1.1.7.0 BIOS is now available on GIGABYTE’s official website and the company hopes to officially release it in the stable phase next May. Users who want to update BIOS can use ＠BIOS, Q-Flash or Q-Flash Plus technology company, making the process easy and simple.

With all that said, it doesn’t take a genius to guess that the series AMD Ryzen 9000 processors will once again use the AM5 socket, so many motherboards sold for Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 8000 should be compatible, with the only requirement being a BIOS update. and the firmware used by the motherboard. GIGABYTE strives to ensure that its motherboards have maximum lifespan and can serve users who need to upgrade their processor to get maximum performance on that front.

Thanks to the use of the Zen 5 architecture, the Ryzen 9000 promises further improvements over previous generations of the same processors. For example, the Ryzen 9950X is 36% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X on Cinebench R24 and may be the first AMD processor to reach a working speed of 6.1 GHz, a frequency that still seems to be reserved for Intel in the x86 spectrum.
