As we head into our upcoming “Zen 3” architecture, there are considerable
technical challenges that face a CPU socket as long-lived as AMD Socket AM4.
For example, we recently announced that we would not support “Zen 3” on AMD
400 Series motherboards due to serious constraints in SPI ROM capacities in
most of the AMD 400 Series motherboards. This is not the first time a
technical hurdle has come up with Socket AM4 given the longevity of this
socket, but it is the first time our enthusiasts have faced such a hurdle.
当提到我们的Zen 3技术，不免会对长命的ＡＭ４脚位产生一些技术上的问题。
我们最近宣布400系列主机板将不支援Zen 3的原因是因为400系列对于SPI ROM容量的
强力限制
以他的长寿程度来看，这并不是AM4脚位遇到的第一个技术障碍
但这却是我们的粉丝第一次遇到了这种障碍
Over the past week, we closely reviewed your feedback on that news: we
watched every video, read every comment and saw every Tweet. We hear that
many of you hoped for a longer upgrade path. We hear your hope that AMD B450
and X470 chipsets would carry you into the “Zen 3” era.
在这一整个礼拜，我们仔细的阅读了你们的回复
我们看了每支影片
看了每个comment也读了每一则tweet
我们听到了多数人的需求 也就是延长更新
我们听到了你们想要B450和X470
带领你们进入Zen 3世代
Our experience has been that large-scale BIOS upgrades can be difficult and
confusing especially as processors come on and off the support lists. As the
community of Socket AM4 customers has grown over the past three years, our
intention was to take a path forward that provides the safest upgrade
experience for the largest number of users. However, we hear you loud and
clear when you tell us you would like to see B450 or X470 boards extended to
the next generation “Zen 3” products.
经验告诉我们，大尺度的更新BIOS将会是一个很困难且复杂的挑战
尤其是新的CPU在旧的板子上的支援
随着AM4的使用者在这三年来的大幅上升
我们原本的计画是让这代退休 好让最多人能享受最安全的升级
但我们听见你的声音告诉我们你想要让B450和X470延长到下个世代
"""""""ZEN 3"""""""""
As the team weighed your feedback against the technical challenges we face,
we decided to change course. As a result, we will enable an upgrade path for
B450 and X470 customers that adds support for next-gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors
with the “Zen 3” architecture. This decision is very fresh, but here is a
first look at how the upgrade path is expected to work for customers of these
motherboards.
大意就是我们知道了啦干 会支援啦 这样
1.We will develop and enable our motherboard partners with the code to support
“Zen 3”-based processors in select beta BIOSes for AMD B450 and X470
motherboards.
2.These optional BIOS updates will disable support for many existing AMD Ryzen
™ Desktop Processor models to make the necessary ROM space available.
3.The select beta BIOSes will enable a one-way upgrade path for AMD Ryzen
Processors with “Zen 3,” coming later this year. Flashing back to an older
BIOS version will not be supported.
4.To reduce the potential for confusion, our intent is to offer BIOS download
only to verified customers of 400 Series motherboards who have purchased a
new desktop processor with “Zen 3” inside. This will help us ensure that
customers have a bootable processor on-hand after the BIOS flash, minimizing
the risk a user could get caught in a no-boot situation.
5.Timing and availability of the BIOS updates will vary and may not immediately
coincide with the availability of the first “Zen 3”-based processors.
6.This is the final pathway AMD can enable for 400 Series motherboards to add
new CPU support. CPU releases beyond “Zen 3” will require a newer
motherboard.
7.AMD continues to recommend that customers choose an AMD 500 Series
motherboard for the best performance and features with our new CPUs.

There are still many details to iron out, but we’ve already started the
necessary planning. As we get closer to the launch of this upgrade path, you
should expect another blog just like this to provide the remaining details
and a walkthrough of the specific process.
尽管还有很多细节要处理 但是我们已经开始计画了
At CES 2017, AMD made a commitment: we would support AMD Socket AM4 until
2020. We’ve spent the next three years working very hard to fulfill that
promise across four architectures, plus pioneering use of new technologies
like chiplets and PCIe® Gen 4. Thanks to your feedback, we are now set to
bring “Zen 3” to the AMD 400 Series chipsets. We’re grateful for your
passion and support of AMD’s products and technologies.
我们曾经承诺AM4会活到2020
我们花了三年满足这个承诺
bla bla bla
谢谢各位的回复 我们已经确定Zen 3会在400系列的板子上支援
我们很感谢各位的热情与支持AMD的产品跟技术
We’ll talk again soon.
改天再聊
我记得有乡民猜对了 马上改口支援
好香啊
