We'd still require the bios version 1.20 to start up. It came out on August 24th, which means the hardware should be reasonably up-to-date now.

I understand your question. It's worth checking if it's feasible to access the UEFI without a CPU, which would allow updates before installing the new CPU. Additionally, even if the motherboard comes with an older UEFI version, it might still be possible to enter the UEFI system, especially since some slots can support legacy configurations.

It seems the CPU support is necessary to access the BIOS. By now, most boards should have functional BIOS updates. Getting a board with an older or second BIOS release would be quite rare. I just wanted to bring this up for your awareness.
