X570 Chipset compatibility

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by, I have some questions about compatibility between my current CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 and a motherboard I plan to upgrade to: Asus Tuf X570-PLUS WIFI

 

My plan is to buy this motherboard because the X570 chipset supports Zen+ to Zen 3 CPUs and I plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 5xxx in the future.

 

So I was about to buy the motherboard when I read in the manual that the CPUs supported were:

  • 3rd generation, 2d generation processors (5xxx and 3xxx as I understand it)
  • 2nd and 1st generation Generation with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Processors

wich means Im not entirely sure the motherboard would be compatible? i'm not entirely sure where the "zen+" architecture would fall, because this part in the MOBO's manual makes it seem like it would only take CPUs with integrated graphics?

 

I checked with PCpartpicker System Builder and it didn't show any compatibility issues.

 

TL;DR: Have a Ryzen 5 2600, want to upgrade my MOBO to an Asus Tuf X570-PLUS WIFI; not entirelly sure if they are compatible.

 

 

Thanks for the answers!

Nope, that's 2xxx and 3xxx.

5th generation is 5xxx.

 

You're fine here.

No, Zen 3 is 4th gen. Zen 2 is third gen, Zen+ is second gen, and Zen is first gen.

 

They're calling out the APUs separately because the numbering is weird. 3000 series APUs are Zen+ (as opposed to 3000 series CPUs, which are Zen 2). Same for 2000 series (APUs are Zen, CPUs are Zen+).

 

X570 basically supports every Ryzen processor. Zen 3 support will likely require a BIOS update, unless it's a new board off the line with the latest revision already applied.

No, that's not right at all.

There was no 4000 desktop CPUs, they were laptop only.

Zen (1000) - Gen 1

Zen+ (2000) - Gen "2"

Zen2 (3000) - Gen 3

Zen3 (5000) - Gen 4

 

Edit:

No readily available/official 4000 series desktop CPUs aside from OEM ones and possibly third party sellers or (as recently featured in LTT) a few shops that manage to sell them as bundles with motherboards and RAM.

Technically, there were 4000 series desktop CPUs, but they were OEM only. That's a large part of the reason AMD leap frogged to 5000.

Interesting, I thought they were laptop only.

There are mobile APUs under the 4000 Series, but yesterday's LTT video did go into the (sorta) OEM-exclusive desktop 4000 Series APUs.

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit. Apologies in advance.
