AMD continues to support its AM4 motherboards good into its AM5 socket pinch immoderate of nan best processors connected nan market, and a caller leak seems to beryllium that, arsenic it reveals respective upcoming AMD Ryzen processors that are compatible pinch nan older gen boards.

New leaks, nan first coming from reliable X (formerly Twitter) leaker @momomo_us and nan 2nd from an investigation by Wccftech, show america that 3 upcoming processors will activity pinch nan AM4 motherboard. The erstwhile leaker posted nan 3 chips — nan AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, Ryzen 5 5600, and Ryzen 3 5300G — arsenic good arsenic specs for nan 5600.

The second confirmed that Asus and MSI updated their motherboard compatibility lists to see these chips, though different manufacturers for illustration ASRock and Gigabyte haven’t done nan aforesaid yet.

What makes this moreover much absorbing is that different AM4 processors for illustration nan Ryzen 7 5800X3D are starting to slice retired of nan proviso chain. If this leak turns retired to beryllium true, past AMD will beryllium replacing it pinch 3 caller chips that tin support this motherboard.

The Ryzen 5 5600XT is expected to characteristic six cores (12 threads) pinch a guidelines timepiece of 3.8GHz, nan Ryzen 5 5600T pinch six cores but a guidelines timepiece of 3.5GHz, and nan Ryzen 3 5300G is expected to person a quad-core spot pinch Radeon Vega graphics.

It seems that while AMD is still giving america high-end chips meant to compete pinch nan likes of Nvidia, it’s besides dedicated to putting retired much affordable ones for those who don’t person nan costs to bargain a full caller processor arsenic good arsenic a motherboard.

AMD continuing to propulsion support down AM4 motherboards is much than commendable and should honestly beryllium much of an manufacture standard, particularly erstwhile nan constituent successful mobility is still utilized by a important instal base. Once AM5 becomes nan caller ascendant tech successful nan future, I dream that nan tech elephantine treats it pinch nan aforesaid level of dedication.
