When are X370 boards (Crosshair VI Extreme) getting Smart Access Memory?

I have a Crosshair VI Extreme (X370) motherboard that cost me $350. When are your X370 boards like Crosshair VI Extreme getting a BIOS update for Smart Access Memory? If there are no plans to update my board I will have to switch to a different board maker.

I think that you should switch to a different board maker, as far as I know SAM is an X570 feature and may be available on X470 and B450 boards through a BIOS update, but nothing has been said for X370 or other 4+ years old motherboards

AMD is officially supporting Smart Access Memory (Resizable BAR) on their Ryzen 3000 (Zen 2) CPU's now. I hope this means my ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme (X370) gets a BIOS update for it soon. It better.

The verge is the last place I would be reading tech articles from 😞
