“I knew this question would be asked. To be honest, it attracts a lot of attention and discussion even within AMD. I am not kidding. I have literally talked about this topic three times today. Not with journalists, but with AMD engineering teams. We discussed what options we have and how we can provide high-quality support for the 300 series boards for those users who would like to upgrade to Ryzen 5000 processors. In other words, we are definitely not ignoring this issue. We perfectly hear and understand our community that cares about this topic. We just want to try to do everything right, so this issue is still under development, "McAfee said.

This made it very difficult to support the products. We provide AGESA instruction packs for motherboard manufacturers to build BIOS from. Manufacturers also have the ability, outside of the AGESA protocol, to choose which processors will be supported on their motherboards. Of course, we control the process using our internal engineering product compatibility matrix, we conduct tests in our laboratory. But we still had to take the first step - we had to make a difficult choice and determine what exactly can be loaded into the 16 MB SPI ROM chip and for which product combinations it is advisable to provide support. Another problem is that since the release of the first 300-series boards and until the appearance of current models within the AM4 ecosystem, there have been significant changes in the characteristics of products, in their capabilities. For example, let's say you decided to install the Ryzen 5950X on a board that technically supports it. But will this board be able to maintain the level of processor performance that was built into it? The more important question here is not whether it is possible to run the processor on a specific motherboard, the whole question is whether the motherboard is capable of providing the processor performance that is expected from it. At this point, AMD's official response would be that these 300 series motherboards do not meet our engineering compatibility matrix. There may be problems that we know nothing about at the moment, ” added McAfee.

This guys never stop their lies.
