MSI I released a final and stable BIOS for the MSI MEG Z890 Ace, just a few days after its release A bunch of sellers has begun rolling out beta versions of Intel PR5-compatible BIOSes for Intel’s Z890 motherboards (Credit: g01d3nm4ng0 On the tenth). Although the fundamental issues inherent in the platform have already been addressed, Intel has promised additional gains with a BIOS update accompanying microcode 0x114 and updated CSME firmware by January. With the verification process nearing completion, other partners will likely push out their final BIOS updates soon.
Arrow Lake It suffered from poor and inconsistent performance across the board at launch. Soon after, the company assured users that the issue would be fixed by late November or early December. Nearly two weeks ago, Intel released a a report Emphasizing the progress made, he noted that four of the five root issues that hindered performance had been addressed.
The final update was promised as a BIOS patch requiring microcode 0x114 combined with the new CSME firmware. The microcode in question was already available through Third party forums and official BIOS versions. However, Intel has clarified that the final update requires both the new 0x114 microcode and the specific CSME firmware set (19.0.0.1854v2.2 or later).
Although it was scheduled to be released in January, MSI’s AMI BIOS update is named “7E22v1A41Available ahead of time for MEG Z890 Ace. The description confirms that this BIOS complies with Intel PR5 standards, and ships with microcode 0x114 and the updated CSME version.
We have yet to see how much of a performance improvement this patch will bring. Intel says the latest update will provide single-digit improvements in gaming performance (geographic average of about 35 games). Although it is entirely possible to download the CSME version separately, you do not need to do so, as official BIOS releases from vendors include both microcode and the new CSME.
These updates are necessary to keep the Arrow Lake platform in shape, as Intel’s 65W non-K counterparts Just around the corner. In conjunction with these new chips, expect partners to provide details of their budget B860 and H810 offerings on the site CES In a few days. Likewise, AMD’s non-X Ryzen 9000 CPUs should be announced alongside these processors. We can expect more details from Intel as we get closer to its presentation at CES.
