MSI presents its AMD AGESA PI-1.2.0.0 BIOS update with AM5 motherboard update

Computex was a few weeks ago and the manufacturer AMD presented its new Ryzen 9000 series, which is based on the Zen5 architecture, at this event. These new Ryzen 9000s will only fit into the AM5 socket and also require customized firmware. Some manufacturers have already taken this step of adaptation and have prepared their mainboards for the upcoming chips with various updates.

According to this, it now affects the AMD X670E, X670, B650 and A620 motherboards from MSI. The most important information about the new update is probably the improvement for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000 “Granite Rdige” chips, which should focus on fixing stability and performance issues. These fixes should ensure that users get smooth and reliable performance with the new CPUs. But of course, that shouldn’t be the only thing MSI has changed or improved. Some NVIDIA cards from the 40 series had various stability issues that often led to problems. More specifically, it affected the GeForce RTX 4070 and 4060 GPUs, which caused some instability problems. This update should have fixed these problems for the time being.

In addition, this BIOS update also contains general bug fixes and optimizations that contribute to the overall efficiency of the system. The company recommends that customers update their BIOS to the latest version for better stability, but also to prepare for the next generation of AMD chips. The new AMD CPUs are intended to turn everything else on its head and thus set an example against AMD’s competitor Intel. The Intel i9 14900k was used as a reference, which is said to perform worse than the new Ryzen 9000 CPUs. You can find more information on this in this article. However, AMD has not yet given a specific date for when the new CPUs will be launched. It therefore remains to be seen when the new processor generators will be available in stores. We are definitely looking forward to it.
