Alongside the new Zen4 CPUs, AMD has revealed more information about the AM5 platform and the budget B650 and B650Extreme motherboards that are coming soon.
AMD has just announced the upcoming Ryzen 7000 processors, and alongside them, new motherboards that will accommodate the freshly released AM5 socket.
With the new Zen 4 platform, AMD is finally saying goodbye to the AM4 socket and moving onto AM5. However, it will retain compatibility with AM4 coolers, making the switch a little bit less costly — although needing to use DDR5 RAM will eat up the savings on not needing to buy a new cooler. AMD has teased its Expo technology that will provide one-click DDR5 overclocking on the Ryzen 7000 processors. The tech is said to deliver an up to 11% boost in 1080p gaming performance, lower DDR5 latency, and royalty-free memory specification. Over 15 of the best RAM kits will support this tech at the launch of Zen 4, with speeds reaching as high as DDR5-6400.
Team Red stayed true to the AM4 socket for years, and now it seems to be planning to do the same thing for the AM5 — although perhaps not to the same extent. The AM4 was launched in late 2016 and was finally replaced six years later. According to AMD, the AM5 socket will be fully supported through 2025 and beyond.
