After the release of the 5800X3D, AMD revealed some details of the next generation of the new Zen4 architecture for the first time.
The characteristics of Zen4 architecture products can be summarized as "four fives": the first time to use TSMC 5nm process manufacturing, AMD platform support for next-generation DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 channels, the new AM5 package for the first time introduced.
AMD Zen series Ryzen™ processors have always been interfaced in the AM4 package for excellent intergenerational compatibility. The AM5 interface, also known as the LG1718 (for 1718 contacts), will be the first time AMD has abandoned the PGA pin package on a desktop in favor of an LGA contact package, just like its server data center platform, meaning that players don't have to worry about the CPU's pin bending.
