Yeah I'd expect the update to the x470 taichi. I really like the features on this board, but the poor support asrock is enough for me to go back to Asus.

Good stuff, thanks :)

Yes.

I am getting tired of seeing all the complaints about ABBA not coming to 300 and
400 series boards and the speculation that future updates will be ignored on
these platforms.

Guys, ASRock skipped it because it offers very little and 1.0.0.4 came out
while they were working on bringing it to the earlier boards. Rather than waste
time finishing the update that would fix nothing of significance and then have
to start immediately working on the more useful update they opted to get the
1.0.0.4 update under way to get that out sooner. Now, this is speculation on my
part but it is based on my testing of the 1.0.0.3 ABBA AGESA on my 2 x570
boards and not seeing a difference in performance, in fact, on my X570 Taichi
the update actually scored lower in Cinebench and I reverted to the ABB
version.

ASRock has already provided at least one beta BIOS containing 1.0.0.4 for a 400
series board (see the Ryzen 3000 support thread for details). I personally
think it is a good thing that they chose to push the more useful update in
favor of the one that fixed none of the outstanding bugs save for a few paltry
mhz to the max boost clock, a boost that makes 0 difference to performance in
most situations.

I don't doubt 1.0.0.4 will be released for all supporting boards as so far, all
evidence points to it actually fixing a lot of issues as well as improving
stability etc with Ryzen 3000.
