AMD, announced that the new Zen 3 processors will only support x570 and B550 motherboards. Obviously when buying this high-end motherboard, my expectation is the possibility of Zen 3 support. In other words, I thought that the last processor it supported would be Zen 3. But now I was disappointed too.
It is written that the bios rom capacities are insufficient. CH7 uses 256MB Rom. Hopefully it provides Zen 3 support for asus ch7.
Q: What about (X pre-500 Series chipset)?
A: AMD has no plans to introduce “Zen 3” architecture support for older chipsets. While we wish could enable full support for every processor on every chipset, the flash memory chips that store BIOS settings and support have capacity limitations. Given these limitations, and the unprecedented longevity of the AM4 socket, there will inevitably be a time and place where a transition to free up space is necessary—the AMD 500 Series chipsets are that time.

Technically with AMDs help ASUS could branch the BIOS.
As long as the motherboard in question supports BIOS flashback I don't really see the problem of going down this route.
- One BIOS for Zen 1 and 2 support.
- One BIOS only for Zen 3 support.
