Following are the main highlights of the AMD AGESA 1.2.0.0 BIOS Firmware:
- Optimized and support AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors.
- Optimized Resizable BAR (Re-Size BAR) function with NVidia Graphics cards.
- Improved AM4 processor compatibility
The AMD Curve Optimizer support will be carried over from AGESA 1.1.9.0 BIOS Firmware but 1usmus & Patrick Schur seem to indicate that there are also going to be a few bug fixes and a number of CPU improvements. We have also learned that the BIOS fixes a hang issue during CPU post.
I said that AGESA 1.2.0.0 contains MAINLY bug fixes and version bumps. btw The improvements for the dLDO injector or CO are not even in the release notes.

According to MSI, they plan to release the AMD AGESA 1.2.0.0 BIOS Firmware first for their X570, B550, A520 motherboards alongside the older X470 & B450 MAX series in January. A general roll-out for its X470 and B450 motherboards is expected in February 2021. ASUS should be rolling out its own BIOS firmware around the same dates so expect more information in the coming weeks.
