The statement means the newer chips "backward compatibility with Intel's latest generation" is claimed. Updates released in July suggest support for the 13th-gen chip, but manufacturers can't guarantee availability three months before release.

Absolutely not, especially with a pre-release bio—early access is rarely worth it. Launch day BIOS are usually unreliable.

Just checking if it can start using the CPU. I’ve faced problems with Q-Flash Plus before, so having a CPU handle the update would be better. Sometimes it takes a long time for a new BIOS to appear.

The BIOS needs to be set up for compatibility. I’m unsure about the details, but it likely relates to the specific microcode used by each device model.
