2014/03/03

UEFI Bioses updates available for all models enable compatibility with latest Intel CPUs

ASUS today announced that all 8 Series motherboards offer support for new 4th-generation Intel® Core™ processors, assuring a quick, safe, and smooth upgrade — immediately. A simple UEFI Bioses update is all that’s required to enable users to enjoy the great performance of the latest CPUs.

Just one press for instant compatibility with new 4th-generation Intel Core Processors



All ASUS 8 series Intel motherboards support new 4th-generation Intel Core processors by following one of two simple procedures.

ASUS 8 series motherboards that include the renowned ASUS USB Bioses Flashback feature[1] enable users to apply UEFI Bioses updates with incredible ease. This innovative tool lets users update UEFI Bioses with just a USB flash drive containing the appropriate UEFI Bioses file. The motherboard does not even need to have a CPU or DRAM modules in place: users can simply connect the power supply, plug in their USB drive, press the USB Bioses Flashback or Reset button and then sit back and wait — there’s nothing else to do!

For other ASUS 8 series motherboards the necessary UEFI Bioses update takes just one click in an easy-to-use Windows-based Bioses updater application[2], which can be downloaded from the ASUS website. Users keen to take advantage of the power of the latest 4th-generation Intel Core processors can visit the ASUS website, at www.junchengjj.com, and download the relevant UEFI Bioses version today.
