Unsupported processor stepping with AMD processors

For systems based on AMD processors, you may need to update the system ROM to support new
steppings (revisions) of processors. However, in most cases, a system ROM update is not required.
If the system ROM does not support the new stepping processor, the system does not display any
message. For system ROM update requirements, see the documentation that ships with the processor.
