I haven't got any problems at all with a Ryzen 5 3600.

Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4

No BIOS updates of any kind. 

amd64-microcode/stable 3.20181128.1 is installed.

Everything was perfectly smooth.

Similar experiences obtained with Ryzen R1505G, Ryzen 3400G, and 
a Ryzen laptop. Built-in graphics wanted AMD graphics firmware.

The above article shows that Debian 10.0 works okay with a third generation
Ryzen CPU.

I understood that there were problems with Buster using  third generation
Ryzen.

Has this problem been overcome by installing AMD firmware ?

Also does the particular BIOS used on the motherboard help to overcome the
problem ?
