Asus has published a full list of its AM5 600 series motherboards that will support the next generation Zen 5 line of desktop CPUs. It was recently spotted byWCCFTechthat several Asus 600 series motherboards had received updates to their BIOS pages to indicate that they would support theAMD Ryzen ‘Zen 5’ lineof desktops CPUs.
A total of 44socket AM5motherboards is listed, which comprisesthe entirety of the Asus AM5 motherboard product line.Most of these existing motherboards will need a BIOS update before the support for these next-gen processors can be implemented. The full list is as follows:
The Zen 5 chips are expected to make their debut at Computex 2024 in early June and are set to offer a nice upgrade to AM5 users. Of course, new motherboard designs will emerge from Asus and other manufacturers once the full capabilities of the new chips are known, but PC users in the AMD ecosystem are at least relieved of having to buy a new motherboard.
This news ties into AMD’s commitment towardskeeping the AM5 platformaround until at least 2025, with a spokesperson saying the company intends to support AM5 for ‘as long as possible’.
