Asus has announced that the upcoming Zen 5 desktop CPUs will be compatible with its current series of AM5 motherboards.
The launch of a new CPU is a highly anticipated event for fans of PC gaming, but it can also cause some anxiety. Assembling a PC is a costly endeavor, and if the new CPU is not compatible with your existing hardware, it can significantly impact your finances.
Asus has released a comprehensive list of its AM5 600 series motherboards that are compatible with the upcoming Zen 5 line of desktop CPUs.
A total of 44 socket AM5 motherboards are included in the Asus AM5 motherboard product line. These existing motherboards will require a BIOS update in order to support the next-generation processors. The complete list is provided below:

The upcoming release of the Zen 5 chips is highly anticipated to take place at Computex 2024 during the first week of June. These chips will provide a significant improvement for AM5 users. While Asus and other companies will unveil new motherboard designs once the full potential of the Zen 5 chips is revealed, AMD users can be reassured that they will not need to purchase a new motherboard.
AMD has expressed their dedication to continuing support for the AM5 platform until at least 2025, as evidenced by this news. According to a spokesperson, the company plans to maintain support for AM5 for as long as they possibly can.
