News Dreams of Ryzen 4000 on B450 seemingly officially crushed....

Could not find the thread where someone seemed pretty darn sure that B450 would support Ryzen 4000 because 'B350 supported Ryzen 2000 and 3000', but.....

It will be very disappointing if it turns out that way especially as a spokesperson for 1 motherboard manufacturer has previously been quoted as saying their 400 series boards will have support.

I am disappointed with the news as I recently bought an x470 motherboard

Recently built a computer with a Ryzen 5 and a B450 board from MSI. The only 3rd-gen compatible one I could find in stock these days was mATX and lacking some of the newer features like WiFi, Bluetooth.

If the 4th-gen are compelling and we feel ready to upgrade to the Ryzen 9 I'll have a good excuse to get a nicer motherboard.

Although I do find a bit disappointing that they use the same socket for so long and the chips physically fit but don't actually work, that's kind of how technology goes sometimes.

I was more than a bit disappointed by this news. AMD themselves mentioned that the BIOS chip on anything older than 450 was too small and only on a case by case basis were 450 possible. Thus, they were not opening the door to partners updating BIOS for them (or 470 as of now) to work.
