AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware to introduce support for 24GB and 48GB memory sticks

Intel 600/700-series motherboards already support 24GB and 48GB memory sticks, allowing you to equip up to 192GB of DDR5 memory. AMD, however, still hasn't introduced support for non-binary memory, but that is reportedly changing with the release of AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware.

As per chi11eddog (via Wccftech), AMD will introduce support for non-binary memory sticks for 600 series motherboards with the AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware. With this update, those using the latest AMD motherboards can mount 24GB and 48GB memory sticks, allowing for up to 192GB of memory.

As of now, most motherboards are still on AGESA 1.0.0.5c. However, Asus already has beta BIOSes based on AGESA 1.0.0.6 available for some X670 motherboards. Considering AGESA 1.0.0.6 BIOSes still have to be made public before releasing new ones using AGESA 1.0.0.7, it could be a while before this update is ready to roll out to everyone.

Although most mainstream users on an AMD 600-series board won't need 192GB of memory, it's still useful for those who don't want to go for a HEDT processor but still need considerable amounts of memory for their workloads.

KitGuru says: Do you have an AMD 600-series-based system? Will you take advantage of the increased memory capacity?
