We’re not sure if this will bring more praise for AMD, or if there will be a new angry mob with virtual pitchforks, because it’s coming too late, but it looks like at least some AMD X370 based motherboards are getting support for AMD’s Zen 3 based Ryzen processors. First out is ASRock with the X370 Pro4, which even at launch was a run of the mill X370 board, but it’s possible that the company is just using it as its test platform to see if it’s worth adding support for Zen 3 or not.
ASRock has added support for all of AMD’s Vermeer based CPUs, as well as several Renoir based APUs. You can find all the added models in the modified screenshot below, since the processors weren’t all listed in order on ASRock’s website. The P7.10 UEFI update is required and it also drops support for AMD’s now rather old Excavator+ based Bristol Ridge APUs, a loss that almost no-one is likely to shed a tear over. The interesting thing to keep an eye on now, is both if ASRock will follow suit with other models, as well as what its competitors will do in terms of adding support for Zen 3 CPUs on their older motherboard models.
