AMD Releases AGESA V2 1.2.0.7 Microcode to Motherboard Vendors and OEMs
AMD over the weekend reportedly released the AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7 microcode to motherboard vendors and PC OEMs. This particular version of AGESA gains importance to those on Windows 11, as it corrects a performance-stuttering issue caused due to frequent polling of the fTPM by the OS. The new version of AGESA is also bound for AMD 300-series chipset motherboards, where it adds official (stable) support for Ryzen 5000 series processors, letting those on the 5-year old platform enjoy an IPC uplift as much as 60% (Zen 3 vs. Zen). 1.2.0.7 is also rumored to address certain stability issues with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and enables BCLK overclocking on the chip, as long as the processor doesn't draw more than 1.35 V in the Vcore voltage domain. It's now over to the motherboard vendors and PC OEMs, to encapsulate 1.2.0.7 with their firmware and release to end-users.

I've had it for weeks, guess it was BETA
Asrock seem way, way behind on this. Asus and Gigabyte x370 have this, while most asrocks havent had an update in over a year, so they have no x3D support at all :/
Im running 1.2.0.6 with 5800X3D and it's stable.
We could have had 1.2.0.7b/c/d/e etc, like we have seen in the past
We keep getting told that Alder Lake's P-cores need Windows 11's scheduler to run at their best, and that all of the stuttering and performance issues in W11 are due to changes to to scheduler. But if you search for articles, you'll largely find evidence that Alder Lake runs better on W10 than it does on W11.
INTEL platform has a video capture board that only works with the PCIe bus directly connected to the CPU.
But with AMD's new BIOS, it works in any slot.
boost clock seems to be missing about 25MHz, but it is not a problem for me.
1.2.0.6 has been released in the past year though, but its labelled beta so right at the bottom of their download page. Just checked 1.2.0.6 supports the chip, they released it publically for my board days after I beta tested it for them.
“it adds official (stable) support for Ryzen 5000 series processors, letting those on the 5-year old platform enjoy an IPC uplift as much as 60% (Zen 3 vs. Zen).”
that’s some serious IPC. I thought I would expect 20% from my 1700 to a 5600G/5700G??
