It's been a while since we got a new firmware update on the AMD 500-series platform. The last one, the AGESA 1.2.0.4, and its respective patches were launched back in September and with new Ryzen CPU families coming to the platform real soon, a new BETA BIOS was inbound for launch.
According to MSI, the major changes that the new AMD AGESA 1.2.0.5 BIOS firmware adds is first of all the update to the new firmware which also updates the SMU firmware for AMD's Ryzen CPUs including Vermeer (Ryzen 5000), Cezanne (Ryzen 5000G), Picasso (Ryzen 3000G) and Raven Ridge (Ryzen 2000G). Following is the latest screenshot of the AGESA 1.2.0.5 BIOS firmware within Ryzen SMU checker (Image Credits: MSI Forums):
Additionally, it also carries the previous TPM enablement by default on the listed motherboards which means that users will be able to get Windows 11 installed and running on their systems through the fTPM functionality on MSI X570 & B550 motherboards.
What's new: 1. Update to COMBOAM4v2PI 1.2.0.5 2. SMU firmware updated for AMD Vermeer, Cezanne, Picasso, Raven Ridge 3. TPM enabled by default
