MSI is the newest motherboard maker to announce Intel 600 sequence chipset motherboard assist for next-generation Intel Core processors. It revealed a new weblog put up with an inventory of what seems to incorporate its complete 600 sequence motherboards portfolio, spanning merchandise with Z690, B660, H670 and H610 chipsets.
With these updates being ready (or now obtainable) from a lot of the large motherboard makers, it appears to be like just like the Thirteenth Gen Intel Core (Raptor Lake) household is due briefly order. Nonetheless, it’s attention-grabbing that MSI (and the opposite motherboard distributors) haven’t talked about both the next-gen CPU codename or generational quantity.
MSI says that these new BIOS updates can be found on the respective motherboard pages. The information weblog doesn’t hyperlink to them individually, however most individuals will solely be downloading one or two BIOS recordsdata on the most, so it isn’t a terrific effort to go looking MSI assist. A few of you’ll have already got a bookmark on your motherboard product/assist web page.
“Not Appropriate for Benchmarking”
It’s fairly simple for contemporary MSI motherboard customers to use these updates, as soon as discovered and saved, utilizing both MSI M-Flash or the Flash BIOS button. Nonetheless, there is a vital line of small-print for would-be early BIOS flashers. MSI writes “Observe that the preliminary BIOS model is for power-up functions solely and isn’t appropriate for efficiency testing.” This implies the newly obtainable ‘next-gen BIOS’ isn’t going to be rather more than a curiosity for many customers. When Intel will get round to launching its Thirteenth Gen CPUs, there might be an up to date “full perform” BIOS made obtainable by MSI, so grabbing these recordsdata now appears slightly pointless.
MSI’s wording relating to the brand new BIOS not being appropriate for benchmarking may be very near what Asus has stated. We highlighted this assertion about unsuitability for benchmarking within the final paragraph of our story about Intel Core i9-13900K benchmarking utilizing an Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Excessive motherboard simply yesterday.
So, MSI has supplied these next-gen updates for its Intel 600 sequence motherboards, Asus has achieved the identical, and ASRock readied its updates over a fortnight in the past. The one main motherboard participant to not declare its new/pending updates is Gigabyte/Aorus. We’re additionally ready for related information from smaller motherboard gamers like Biostar, EVGA and NZXT.
Final however not least, Intel has its Innovation occasion cued up for Sept 27-28, and it wouldn’t be very stunning if some Raptor Lake information was timed to coincide. Whilst you wait, please stand up thus far by studying by way of our Intel Thirteenth-Gen Raptor Lake Specs, Rumored Launch Date, Benchmarks, and Extra function.
