AGESA 1.0.8.1 Combo V2 UEFI updates put out by manufacturers:
A good chunk off core-to-core latency.

AGESA (1.0.8.1 Combo v2) _seems_ to offer significant intercore latency improvements reported by SiSoftware Sandra multicore efficiency test.
Latency core-core: 48.9ns = 1.0.8.1
Latency core-core: 56.9ns = 1.0.0.6#Ryzen #AGESA

So when are we getting the BIOS update ?
Other Manufacturers are already rolling it out.

I have the same thinkin.

Asus are always after GB ,MSI and other for bios release.

Can't wait to try it.

MSI really bringing their "A" game to AM4. Best VRM's and always quick to release BIOS updates. I remember when Asus was like this, seems like long ago now.

Beta BIOS for Hero/Forumla is currently @ 1.0.8.2 I believe.

I install the bios and it's less stable .
My 2206 are more stable. but the speed of the mouse in the bios was so fast .
Cinebech R20 was Horrible.

The BETA BIOS suffers from random restarts at idle for many. They don't even acknowledge the problem yet, but there is an army of pissed people who paid 500$ for a MOBO that restarts their computer at will... Only BIOS 1302 is safe.

I would wait until they put together a "working" bios

Interesting that you say that. Most people that have installed it have seen a ~5-8% bump in performance with the beta bios. Stability is fine on my end but there are still people struggling with bios revisions newer than 130x. I'd be curious to know what your config is. I went from Cinebench scores on my box at stock DOCP settings of a little over 7k to 7500. That's with a 3900x and ram @ 3600
