AMD SAM acceleration technology was originally prepared for the latest 3A platform of Ryzen 500 series processors, RX 6000 series graphics cards, and 500 series motherboards, and then transferred to AMD 400 series old motherboards, but the interesting thing is that the Intel platform also supports it!

ASUS has previously released new BIOS for Z490, H470, B460, and H410 motherboards. When they are paired with RX 6000 series graphics cards, they can turn on acceleration and achieve a game performance improvement of more than 10%.

Today, MSI also announced that it will provide a new version of BIOS for its Intel 400 series motherboards, including Z490, B460, and H410, so that it can support the Re-Size BAR function, so that it can be used with RX 6000 series graphics cards for additional acceleration.

Among them, the Z490 motherboard has received a new BIOS from the beginning of December, while the B460 and H410 have been updated from mid-December to the end of the month.

In addition, MSI has updated the AGESA 1.1.0.0 microcode for AMD 400 series motherboards. When paired with Ryzen 5000 series processors and RX 6000 series graphics cards, SAM can be turned on, and the system memory performance has also been significantly improved.

NVIDIA has also stated that their graphics cards can also support SAM-like acceleration technology, because the technology uses industry-standard PCIe specifications.

In other words, as long as motherboard manufacturers provide BIOS, regardless of AMD platform or Intel platform, regardless of AMD graphics card or NVIDIA graphics card, they can cooperate with each other to accelerate.

Speaking of which, I still have to thank AMD. Although SAM technology only borrows a feature from the PCIe standard specification, this feature was actually supported on Intel's fourth-generation Core Haswell 6 years ago, but it has never been used until now AMD takes the lead...
