Zen 6 Ryzen CPU Support Integrated in MSI’s AM5 800-Series Motherboards, Ahead of Launch
MSI, alongside several other motherboard manufacturers, is currently introducing new products based on the AM5 socket. The company’s lineup of 800-series motherboards has either been fully unveiled or teased, with a particular focus on its upcoming “MAX” series. This expansion offers enhanced options for Ryzen PC builders, catering to the growing DIY market that is increasingly adopting AMD’s AM5 CPUs.
Recent confirmations from MSI indicate that these latest 800-series motherboards are indeed “Future CPU Ready”.When inquiries regarding Zen 6 “Ryzen”support were made on Discord, an MSI representative affirmed the motherboards’ compatibility with upcoming CPU technologies.
This development underscores AMD’s dedication to the AM5 socket, which is set to support a minimum of three generations of Ryzen CPUs. Originally launched with the Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series, the AM5 socket currently accommodates the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series and has also seen the introduction of Ryzen 8000G Desktop APUs. The next major lineup slated for release on this socket includes the Zen 6-based Ryzen processors, which are anticipated to debut in the latter half of 2026.
Interestingly, modifications to support the new Zen 6 “Ryzen”CPUs have been detected on the soon-to-be-released MSI B850I EDGE TI EVO WIFI motherboard. Additionally, AMD is reportedly distributing early samples of the Zen 6 Ryzen CPUs to its partners for testing and validation on existing and forthcoming motherboard designs, assuring optimal compatibility and performance.
Among the notable features of MSI’s upcoming “MAX” series motherboards is the integration of an external BCLK generator and an expanded 64 MB BIOS. This upgrade ensures that the motherboards can efficiently handle the latest BIOS firmware updates, mitigating concerns over storage limitations as firmware size continues to grow to accommodate additional Ryzen CPUs and essential microcode enhancements.
