I like ASRock myself for Threadipper.
It is surprising that many amateur system builders don't know that they need to make sure the BIOs is updated (Intel or AMD) prior to a new generation CPU being installed.
That was great move no doubt.
But AMD will lost too much of advantages if they not fix this problem.
People will start to talk that AMD is like Intel and not only that, they will find excuse why Intel done that in past and one of big advantages of AMD will gone.
Even greedy Intel allow i7-3700K to work on Z68 Gen 3, or Kaby Lake on some Z170 motherboards...anyway most of time people could use without some options.
Now if AMD say revision not compatible with AM4 they are in deep problem. That's not even new generation, and people expect even next gen to work on AM4.
BIOS not allow! BIOS is not person.
Why wrote that BIOS, on that way.
Shut up AMD, you say AMD4 compatibility up to 2020.
But now looks like AMD notice that people want Ryzen and decide to change his plan.
All of them are same, no different company, no customer friendly Corporation.
AMD would be same on Intel position. When we think someone is different, that's his plan to look different and win buyers.
