12th & 13th Gens should get support for APO...

Why would anyone buy 14th gen if 13th gen has this feature ?

It’s generally expected that hardware/software companies support their past devices as long as their is no hardware limitation preventing them from doing so. (Especially in first few years)

The 14th gen offers 0 hardware improvements that would prevent this update from running on the 13th gen.

Not a single transistor has been added for this feature. It’s all in software.

They don’t get the Nvidia excuse of having to add literal new cores or a redesigned pipeline for a feature like Dlss 3.

It’s pure laziness and douchebaggery

Try explaining that to /r/amd

Didnt AMD reverse course on that and enable their old mobos to accept zen 3 though?

Like yeah it was a shitty block in the first place, but it was made good.

that was becuase a lot of motherboards shipped with only 16mb rom chips for the bios, and at the time that was not enough to enable support of all am4 processors. To counter this many vendors released upgraded versions of existing motherboards with 32mb of rom for the bios.

I believe amd was eventually able to work around this, but there was a technical hurdle in this case. People did need to rake them over the coals for it tho.

absolutely. there's 5800x3d chips running on b320 b350 boards! w/o any issue or performance limits.
