A correction may be needed- 3000G seems to be a Raven2 (released for embedded market this spring, and now also going into laptops as 3200U), not Picasso die. AMD.com lists 3000G as 14nm (RR, Raven2), not 12nm (Picasso). And also, Robert Hallock confirms it is 14nm here: https://youtu.be/NRSUYBjlBXw?t=4072
I am planning to buy Ryzen 3950X post launch, but i am planning to get X570 motherboard early, i just want to know will the x570 board work readily when i install 3950X ? since AMD has told a BIOS update is required, will i be getting a display atleast to update the BIOS? (OR) will manufacturers update the BIOS and re-launch the same motherboard, for this i may have to wait......not sure how this will go ?
3950X support has been baked in to all X570 boards since July (earlier, actually, if you include eval systems). The new updates will simply flash the most current microcode and AGESA optimizations. No worries if you plan to buy a board before receiving a 3950X CPU.

I don't think the 3000G is Zen+. AMD lists it as a 14nm part and thats Zen not Zen+ (12nm) right?https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-athlon-300...

do we know of 3000G is actually 12nm Zen+? AMD"s website says its 14nm: < https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-athlon-300... >for reference, here's the 3400G, which you will see says 12nmm FinFet: < https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-34... >
I realize for $49 you can't have it all, but i'm still hoping its 12nm so people can squeeze a little extra out of it and enjoy even lower power consumption.
