AMD Ryzen CPUs to Get Plenty of Microcode Improvements
According to Planet 3DNow, owners of AMD's Ryzen CPUs will receive a new microcode update said to feature many performance fixes and improvements that bring additional features. Dubbed AGESA 1.0.0.4, the new microcode improvement should bring over 100 new features that don't just include bug fixes, but also additional features.
Leaked by MSI's "Insider Show" YouTube series host Eric Van Beurden, he revealed that new microcode will arrive next month after getting tested by motherboard manufacturers for stability and compatibility with existing models of motherboards. Unfortunately, Van Beurden didn't reveal anything specific about what features will be present with the new AGESA microcode update, however we can expect to see plenty of new additions, and possibly higher CPU performance that further firmware optimizations bring.

Whichever product works for you is the right one for you, at the end of the day. Objectively speaking, Gigabyte is slightly on the better side of vendors when it comes to releasing new AGESA BIOSes, slightly. That's a good thing for a platform where AGESA updates are of significant importance.
Which makes me simultaneously excited and apprehensive about 1.0.0.4, as I want to see what AMD has in store, but also am hesitant to do another BIOS flash that I don't exactly need. AMD's changelogs as of late haven't been particularly helpful.

If AMD improves bios even further, It's going to be too good true.
Hopefully Zen and Zen+ do benefit from 1.0.0.4 but i wouldn't hold my breath on this . Also does anyone knows if there are any compatibility issues between Zen/Zen+ and ABBA ?
no need to be so cynical in life, maybe instead just don't waste your time reading articles you know are dumb?
Also does this chart ("AM4 Vcore VRM Ratings v1.3 (2019-09-04) : AM4 Vcore VRM Ratings v1.3" - Google Docs, I have no reason to dispute them so far) seem like a great advertisment for Ggiabyte? Just asking for a friend. :) I never advertised for MSI or AsRock and I just stated my information about GAs sub-par VRMs in the 4xx series (which is backed by buildzoid and the spreadsheet) and my conclusion was that brand loyalty for brand loyalty sake is a stupid idea. And you seem to agree. :)
3.6GHz all core and 1.46V Vcore with only 2 tabs open in Firefox. CPU temp is 45ºC in a well ventilated case (2x120 intake, 1x120 + 1x140 exhaust fans).
My old i5-4690K idles at 32ºC in the same room doing the same thing in a case with only one 90mm exhaust fan. :cry:
