I'm pretty sure AMD releases a binary containing the AGESA code that motherboard manufacturers include in their BIOS.

With some BIOS's, you can actually extract or replace the AGESA binary yourself (although I wouldn't necessarily recomend trying). But people have been able to modify their BIOS to support newer CPU's this way when the manufacturer decided not to release any new BIOS themselves.
