It's been a while since we last saw a major AGESA patch being rolled out by AMD, which should be no surprise given the fact that all major Ryzen 9000 CPUs are out on the market now and the AM5 platforms, including 600 and 800-series motherboards, are in great shape in terms of optimizations and performance.
