AMD's upcoming AM6 socket set to support Zen 7 CPUs, PCIe 6.0, and DDR6 memory
A recently published AMD patent suggests the upcoming AM6 socket will retain enough physical similarity to AM5 to support existing aftermarket attachments like third-party heatsinks, fans, and water blocks – helping reduce upgrade costs for users. This support could also extend to AM4 coolers, which already work with AM5 sockets....Read Entire Article
Between the APUs of the next Xbox/PlayStation and what follows, this month of August is conducive to conjecture. This month should also interest you, since it concerns the future socket of the AMD, the AM6...
At AMD at the moment, we have AM4 socket and AM5 socket for the Ryzen 3000/5000 and 7000/9000 processors. In 2028, AMD is expected to present a new CPU architecture, namely ZEN 7, which will follow ZEN 6 which is not yet there and which will succeed ZEN 5. With ZEN 7, AMD is expected to introduce a new socket, in AM6. A socket which should offer some 2100 pins, but which should keep a format quite similar to AM5, which means that the current coo…
The first leaks on the AM6 socket from AMD suggest a major change in the world of hardware. Intended to replace the current AM5 by 2028, this new socket will adopt an ambitious design to accompany future Ryzen processor architectures. More spindles, compatibility with the latest standards and backward compatibility on the [...] AMD AM6 article: a new generation socket with 2,100 pins, DDR6 compatible and PCIe 6.0 appeared first on HardwareCookin…
Welcome to the era of pin panic: AMD's next desktop socket is called AM6, reports our colleague Sarfraz Khan from Wccftech, and according to leaked information, it will accommodate no fewer than 2,100 pins – in exactly the same footprint as the current AM5 socket. A feat of engineering? Perhaps. A technological gamble? Certainly. "Same Size, More [...] Source
AM6 vs AM5: Pin Count, Power Limits, and Compatibility
AMD is preparing to introduce its AM6 socket, which will bring a notable upgrade in pin count while keeping the same footprint as the outgoing AM5 platform. Based on recently published patents (US 20250149248) and industry reports, the AM6 socket will grow from the current 1,718 pins on AM5 to 2,100 pins—a 22% incr ...
