This is funny because I remember MSI saying they were not going to offer an upgrade with their motherboard. I can't remember if it was from B350 to B450 or higher. They back down pretty quick. I can agree with that if it's holding the board back. Everything I've seen says this is only a "refresh" adding 100-200mhz from the x variant. Nothing new added to the chip itself. So, I see all board manufacturers doing it as well. I just saw that the Ryzen 3600 is going for 166 usd. I'm thinking about jumping on that to upgrade my 2600. My youngest daughter asked me the other day if she could have a pc to game on like daddy. So, I feel an upgrade is near. I did have an old Phenom x2 521 laying around and built it for her but it's pretty slow. I upgraded it to a 545 the next day.. This week I'm pulling that system and putting an i5 2500k, 16gb, r5 270.. but I have the upgrade itch so I'll probably grab a 3600 and a B550 board for myself.

I think the events of the past months have made it pretty clear it was AMD that didn't intend to support older boards, and MSI was simply the first one to break the news. All of the ire got wrongly focused on MSI, while AMD got away with it. The second time around, AMD broke the news of yet another attempt to drop older chipsets, so AMD took all of the pressure, instead of individual board vendors.

What am I missing here? No iGPU or installed dGPU but you can still enter your OS? What is this wizardry?

I got the same question, and... ¿Which discrete graphics card will you identify if there is no graphics card?

Probably a bad traduction from Chinese PR?

It's a headless system. Before you couldn't get it to past POST without a GPU and now you can. Other board partners like ASUS and ASRock implemented that back when Zen first launched 3 years ago.

My ASRock X370 Taichi can do it. Used to run a Ryzen 3 1200 and that board as a server without a graphics card (was running XigmaNAS).

Ah, okay. Makes more sense. Thought they were getting at full system functionality (including display) without any form of GPU. Thanks for the clarification
