The availability of the BIOS for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors with support for PCIe 4.0 is officially announced by Gigabyte.
Yesterday we reported on the BIOS update for Gigabyte motherboards with AMD X370 and B350 chipsets. The company adds support for the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors, which will be announced next Monday. This will allow users to upgrade their processor without needing to upgrade their motherboard, resulting in significant savings. Furthermore, this BIOS update also offers support for PCIe 4.0.

The company highlights that they have received approval and validation by AMD for their new BIOS. This ensures the full compatibility of your motherboards with upcoming AMD processors. To download it, we must go to the official Gigabyte website and download the latest BIOS. This is labeled as F40 and then simply perform the update process.
“As semiconductor technology advances, microprocessors are increasingly powerful and offer better levels of performance. For users looking to upgrade their systems, compatibility between these new CPUs and their original platforms is a major concern, ”said Jackson Hsu, Director of GIGABYTE's Channel Solutions Product Development Division. “Before the launch of this new generation of AMD Ryzen ™ processors, GIGABYTE wanted to ensure that our motherboards were ready from the ground up to address this concern. We have done our homework and have put in the time and dedication to ensure that users have the best PC experience. "
Of course, some technologies incorporated in the new AMD processors may not end up working. It would be something like XFR 2.0 on the Ryzen 2000, which does not work on the motherboards for the Ryzen 1000.
