Of the processors which would also and above all have the good taste of being compatible with the motherboards to socket AM4.
At the last Computex in Taipei, AMD certainly had some announcements to make regarding its new platform based on the AM5 socket, but it also took the opportunity to reaffirm its support for the current generation, based on the AM4 socket. The question was how…
Zen 4 + DDR4 on AM4 platform
AMD hasn’t formalized anything, but according to the gossip relayed by the always well-informed Greymon55, the American has the idea of selling chips on Zen 4 architecture for AM4 platforms.
While the Ryzen 7000s are only designed to work with DDR5, AMD would thus kill two birds with one stone: it would offer an upgrade solution for current AM4 platforms and ensure the proper functioning of Zen 4 with DDR4 memory.
Remember that for its part, Intel authorizes the operation of its Alder Lake CPUs with a choice of motherboards in DDR4 or DDR5. AMD then found itself in difficulty with Intel on the strict price plan: DDR5 still entails a significant additional cost.
Finally, if it is only a rumor, it goes in the direction of the words of Robert Hallock. In May, AMD’s Technical Marketing Director stated: AM4 and AM5 will coexist, markets are still adopting AM4, AM4 is still alive, and there may be new AM4 processors “.
