ASUS Announces Enhanced Performance and AMD Ryzen 9 9000X3D Support with AGESA 1.2.0.3 BIOS Update for X870 & X670 Motherboards

ASUS has just introduced the latest AGESA 1.2.0.3 BIOS update for its X870 and X670 motherboards, promising enhanced performance for AMD Ryzen CPUs.

ASUS has taken the lead in releasing the newest AMD AGESA 1.2.0.3 BIOS update, aiming to boost the capabilities of AMD Ryzen processors on its X870 and X670 motherboards. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a BIOS update on the AMD scene, and ASUS has jumped at the opportunity to be the first to roll out this new version. The previous AGESA 1.2.0.2 had come with a slew of patches, and now we’ve moved on to the next iteration, AGESA 1.2.0.3, which is currently available in BETA form.

This update is making its way to a range of ASUS motherboards, particularly the high-end X870E and X670E lines. These include the ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, and ProArt series. For those curious, there’s a detailed list of compatible motherboards out there.

The BIOS update introduces the ComboAM5 1203 (AGESA 1.2.0.3) version, aiming to refine system performance. While the specifics might sound a bit cryptic, it’s likely tied to the upcoming launch of AMD’s Ryzen 9 9000X3D CPUs slated for March. We might see another update rolling out before that launch, but if you’re keen to eke out some additional performance from your AMD Ryzen setup, this new BIOS update is certainly worth a try right now.
