BIOS Release Notes Analysis
Launch Stability & Compatibility
Initial firmware development focuses on memory training and platform enablement. Version v0.01.AS15[Beta] integrates AGESA 1.0.0.7c to significantly improve DDR5 memory compatibility for high-speed modules (6400MT/s+) and resolve boot failures with Samsung-based kits. Boot performance is further refined in v1.30.AS05[Beta] by optimizing XMP/EXPO training routines. Version v2.02 transitions to AGESA 1.1.0.0, officially enabling support for Ryzen 8000G 'Hawk Point' APUs and the dedicated XDNA AI NPU, while also optimizing USB port compatibility. Additionally, v2.08 (AGESA 1.1.0.2b) disables STAPM on Phoenix processors to enforce correct power management limits.
Feature Maturity & Hardware Support
Support for Ryzen 9000 'Granite Ridge' processors is established in v3.01 via AGESA 1.1.7.0. Advanced tuning capabilities arrive in v3.06 (AGESA 1.2.0.0a), which introduces Curve Shaper to allow distinct undervolting across temperature states. Update v3.08 (AGESA 1.2.0.2) mitigates high inter-core latency on Zen 5 CPUs and adds a 105W TDP option. Gaming performance is optimized in v3.10 (AGESA 1.2.0.2a) by refining thread scheduling, while v3.12.AS02[Beta] enables specific overclocking features for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Firmware v3.18.AS01[Beta] updates to AGESA 1.2.0.3a to support Ryzen 9 9000X3D processors, and v4.03 (AGESA 1.2.7.1) prepares the platform for next-generation 2026 hardware.
Critical Security & Power Management
Security hardening begins with v2.06.AS03[Beta], which patches the critical LogoFAIL vulnerability to prevent malicious code execution during the DXE phase. Update v3.15 integrates AGESA 1.2.0.2b to resolve SMM vulnerabilities (AMD-SB-7027) and improve sleep state stability. The TPM Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability (CVE-2025-2884) is mitigated in v3.30 via AGESA 1.2.0.3e. System reliability is further reinforced in v3.20, which fixes boot issues on specific Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, and v3.40 (AGESA 1.2.0.3f), which enhances general CPU and memory operating stability.
