Earlier this month, ASUS and MSI rolled out BIOS updates for AMD 400-series based motherboards. The new BIOS versions feature a microcode update to add support for Zen 2-based engineering samples. TechPowerUp analyzed the code and concludes AMD's Ryzen 3000 series will feature various new overclocking and tweaking options.
Our resident Ryzen Memory Guru Yuri "1usmus" Bubliy took a really close look at one of these BIOS updates with AGESA 0.0.7.x and found several new controls and options that will be exclusive to "Matisse," and possibly the next-generation Ryzen Threadripper processors. AMD has changed the CBS section title from "Zen Common Options" to "Valhalla Common Options." We have seen this codename on the web quite a bit over the past few days, associated with "Zen 2." We have learned that "Valhalla" could be the codename of the platform consisting of a 3rd generation Ryzen "Matisse" AM4 processor and its companion AMD 500-series chipset based motherboard, specifically the successor to X470 which is being developed in-house by AMD as opposed to sourcing from ASMedia.
