I'm seeing only 1003 for your board amd my Hero(without the Wi-fi)
The new one isn't showing up.

All the more reason to wait for a while I think

The bios is 1101. It has the coffee lake 0x84 microcode with the latest Intel Spectre patch. I don't think it includes any other updates.

If you don't see it, try under different OS versions. Also try TB he is independent bios selection.

Seriously Asus support is so messed up. It probably go released early by mistake (who releases new software on a FRIDAY?). For instance, you can find it for Hero under Windows 7 OS.

Your right. The new Bios shows up under the Win 7 64bit downloads section for the X Hero (non Wi-Fi) That is messed up.

Windows 10 64 bit is still 1003:

I think the 1101 Bios is now showing under Win 10 64bit just as of this minute:

Where did you find this out? (it being a Spectre patch)

Geneo said:

That is what the 0x84 microcode is for, Intel published the patches they have and are working on for Spectra.

But how do you know the latest Asus Bios includes this patch? There doesn't seem to be any official Bios notes...
