Asus MB: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A88XMPLUS/#support
The board would have to have the 1002 or later BIOS to recognize the APU
Gigabyte MB: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4716
The board would have to have the F4 Bios or later for that APU.

You can't be absolutely sure what BIOS version the MB will come with, no. Places like Newegg and Amazon have a big turnover, so chances are pretty good that the MB will have the latest BIOS. But that's just speculation. Since the A10-7850K is the most recent APU, there is a small chance that the MB's in stock won't recognize it.
You can't flash a BIOS without a processor installed. So, I see three choices. Take a chance and buy the MB and hope it has the latest BIOS, Contact the retailer with your concern, or Pick up an inexpensive Athlon X2 340 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113330 ) and use it to flash the BIOS if needed... then sell the Athlon. Of course, with the Athlon, you will need a discrete gfx card to get a display since the Athlon has a disabled on-die GPU.
