Are you sure about the AGESA version string? For the Dell OptiPlex 5055, firmware version 1.1.20 [1], running it through *Dell PFS BIOS Extractor*, and then grepping for `AGESA!` in the strings/hexdump, it says it includes AGESA version 1.0.0.7a.

    $ strings 1\ --\ 1\ OptiPlex\ System\ BIOS\ v1.1.20.bin | grep -A1 AGESA!
    %pAGESA!V9
    SummitPI-AM4 1.0.0.7a
