Asus has just seemingly revealed a crucial detail in the marketing materials for a new motherboard, which is that the BIOS for one of its new AM5 boards will support next-gen AMD Ryzen CPUs based on the new Zen 6 architecture. The new space-age Asus B850M AYW Gaming OC board is designed for overclockers looking to squeeze as much performance as possible out of their system, and a marketing image suggests it’s going to support new AMD CPUs well into the future.

AMD is rumored to be making big changes to both core counts and clock speeds with Zen 6, with leaks circulating about a 24-core AMD CPU in the range, as well as 7GHz clock speeds. Importantly, it now looks as though you’ll be able to simply flash the BIOS on your existing AM5 motherboard and pop in one of these new CPUs when you want to upgrade, without having to overhaul your whole system.
