reports gaming laptop maker XMG indicates motherboard with the AMD B450 chipset will support the upcoming Ryzen 4000 "Vermeer" series processors. This information was revealed on Reddit,
in a post about XMG's new laptop.
In the thread, XMG has listed specifications of the laptop, and in one point it mentions support for Ryzen 4000 series of CPUs. XMG has written that the B450 motherboards will be supporting the next generation CPUs simply by microcode updates AMD will push to OEMs. XMG uses the B450 chipset in its laptops, so they are presumably going to offer some configurations with Ryzen 4000 CPUs in the future.
Good news for backwards compatibility if this is accurate.
