Zen 5k bios released almost a month ago......
not try to keep everyone happy and give out shitty quality bios cause they're stretched too thin.
most people on older boards like that ain't gonna be buying the first round either due to pricing, once updated products come out with some lower msrp's, lower perf they'll have their bioses too.
Last part is my expectations, if they don't come out with a 5600 then.. it sucks! :P
What I can say is that there has been nothing around about the chipset since some rumor early in the year. Either there is no 600 series chipset for socket AM4 or AMD is really keeping it as secret as possible.
EDIT: Found it. It was a tweet from Yuri Bubliy (1usmus around here). However, he didn't clarify what his source was, so again keep the salt shaker nearby. If nothing else, I think it makes sense. Unless AMD is introducing some new feature that requires a new chipset, it probably doesn't make sense to build a new one, not for AM4.
The Taichi X470 is one of the best Am4 mobos and would be crazy if it would not support the new cpus.

For whatever reason, though, they have not added Ryzen 5000 CPUs to their CPU Support list yet. Maybe they don't want to divulge any model numbers? Somewhat moot since we already know about at least 4 of them.
EDIT: Just to make it clear, I'm not sure how well this BIOS version would play with an actual Ryzen 5000 CPU. If you own one of those boards, wait for more BIOS updates. AMD recommends at least AGESA 1.1.0.0
