Microcode is the lowest level of CPU and machine instruction sets that are loaded from the BIOS – think of it as a firmware for the CPU. AMD will be releasing a new microcode in November that will have more than 100 feature updates and improvements for Ryzen CPUs according to MSI marketing Director, Eric van Beurden.

During the MSI Insider show on YouTube, it was said that AMD will start rolling out the BIOS to motherboard Vendors this week. The new BIOS will first pass through the vendor who is responsible for updating the code and then be pushed to motherboard manufacturers soon afterwards, who will then probably spend a couple of weeks tweaking and finetuning the BIOS to suit each of their motherboard models. During the MSI Insider show, the upcoming X570 Unify motherboard was also looked at in detail.
