AMD is preparing the AGESA 1.0.0.7c firmware update

Since the reports emerged several months ago of the sudden burning out of Ryzen 7000X3D series processors, AMD’s firmware update plan based on AGESA microcode appears to have been thrown into disarray, causing the release timelines of major motherboard manufacturers’ new BIOS versions to be repeatedly delayed. Besides ensuring the planned functional updates, AMD must also address issues such as SoC voltage that might lead to processor failure, creating an appearance of some disorder in their operations.

Recently, Twitter user @g01d3nm4ng0 revealed that AMD is preparing firmware updates based on AGESA 1.0.0.7c microcode for the AM5 platform. This represents a minor enhancement over the current version, hence the digital version number has been upgraded from AGESA 1.0.0.7b to AGESA 1.0.0.7c.

Though it is momentarily unclear precisely what improvements AGESA 1.0.0.7c encompasses, there have been rumors circulating online. It is whispered that AGESA 1.0.0.7c will deliver targeted optimization for memory employing Samsung DDR5 chips, resolving existing stability issues. In the past, numerous users have reported that the compatibility between AM5 motherboards and memory utilizing Samsung DDR5 chips was suboptimal, possibly leading to certain difficulties in use.

Previously, MSI has released a new version of BIOS built on AGESA 1.0.0.7c microcode, becoming the first motherboard manufacturer to launch AGESA 1.0.0.7c firmware updates for its AM5 motherboards. The initial supported models include the MEG X670E ACE, PRO B650-P WIFI, PRO B650-VC WIFI, and others. In addition to enhancing support for DDR5 memory, MSI has also remedied existing booting bugs.
