AM5 will be a longevity platform:
The development of the AM4 platform has been successful, and AMD is clearly very satisfied with it. AMD CEO Dr. Su Zifeng said in a recent interview that while it is not yet possible to specify the exact number of years, AM5 will become a long-term platform like AM4.
Asked why AMD would move to LGA instead of the new PGA slot, Robert Hallock, AMD's director of technical marketing, replied that next-generation connections and interfaces such as PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 would require more pin density, and that new platforms would need more connectivity to cpUs, and that PGA would not be suitable for this task.
The ZEN4 architecture Ryzen 7000 under the AM5 platform has a special shape of his top cover, which Hallock says is to make room for capacitance. If this is not done, the capacitor needs to be placed on the bottom of the processor. AMD's new design allows the AM5 processor to maintain the same package size as the AM4.
A direct advantage of the same package size is that players can use the high-end heatsink of the AM4 era. However, the capacitance in the top cover gap also makes some players worried, and the use of some highly conductive silicone greases may be limited.
Intel poached Apple's Director of Mac Architecture:
Jeff Wilcox, Apple's director of Mac system architecture, announced through LinkedIn that he would leave the company in favor of a new role at Intel.
During his 8 years as Apple's Director of Mac System Architecture, Jeff Wilcox oversaw Mac system architecture, signal integrity, and power integrity, and played a major role in Apple's transition to arm architecture. After joining Intel, he will serve as the CTO of the Design Engineering Group, focusing on client-side SoC architecture design.
Jeff Wilcox's addition to Intel is also a return, having served as a power management architect for Intel Atom's processor chipset program from 2010 to 2013.
