ASRock unlocks BIOS for AMD Zen 5, Intel Arrow Lake refresh

ASRock dropped new BIOS files for their AMD and Intel boards, prepping for next-gen chips. Their 600 and 800 series AM5 motherboards got a stable update with AGESA 1.2.7.1. This paves the way for coming AMD processors, probably those Ryzen 9000X3D models and new Zen 5 APUs. A handful of specific boards received it, like the X870 Nova WiFi and the B650 Pro RS. Over on Team Blue, ASRock pushed version 2.12 for two Intel 800 series models, the B860M-X Gen5 boards. That update adds microcode for upcoming Intel Arrow Lake Refresh CPUs, expected to be chips like the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus.

The move suggests new hardware announcements are approaching. More AM5 models from ASRock will likely get the same stable BIOS soon. For now, support is rolling out piece by piece across their product stack.
