Status of Ryzen 3000 and x570 motherboards?

I've got a new build (upgrade really) ready to go, consisting of an Asus Prime x570-Pro and Ryzen 3900x, but I've read that newer systemd doesn't play nicely with the Ryzen 3000 CPUs[0] unless either the BIOS has been patched or systemd has been patched. I just checked, and as far as I can tell my board hasn't had needed BIOS release yet, so I was wondering if the current systemd in Arch has had the needed patch applied. Info on the internet is scant and I want to be relatively sure before I tear my PC apart and put in a new mobo.

I read the part related to the installer (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63151) and it seems 242.32-3 has a patch, but I'm wondering if my current install with 242.84-1 also contains the patch (I assume it does due to the much higher patch version).

I'm not looking to do a fresh install.

Yes it does.
Edit:
From [1] 1 242.84-1 uses commit 9d34e79ae8ef891adf3757f9248566def70471ad and from [2] that commit is after [3] which fixes the issue.

Awesome! I was actually just looking at the git log and saw the same thing

Thanks! Now to put the build together...

Edit: Everything is running just fine with the new mobo/CPU. Only hiccup was pointing systemd-boot to the right EFI file (so nothing to do with this).

Everything running fine here (X570 Aorus Elite). Needed iommu=soft to prevent issues with an NVMe drive. Temperature/voltage monitor not available due to unsupported ITE IT8688E chip. CPU temperatures not available (but patch available for k10temp).
