OCWorkBench writes some motherboards with AMD's 790GX and 785G chipset may get a BIOS update to add support for the upcoming six-core Thuban processors:

From what we gathered, AMD 790GX and 785G boards should support the upcoming AMD Hex core processor “Thuban”. This is because the new chipsets 890GX is similar to the 785G with an increased GPU clock and DX10.1 support. We will have to wait till early April to get see if there are any compatibility issues.
