“ AMD is showing every sign of supporting AM4 for the foreseeable future ”

   24-Apr-2024

Forward-looking: AMD will keep supporting the AM4 platform until the cost of producing older DDR4 memory becomes more expensive than that of DDR5, said Donny Woligroski, AMD's technical marketing manager. As for migrating to AM5, that's for people "who want to tee up for the future."AMD's AM4 user base can rest easy regarding any doubts about the support the company will give to the platform. Not only did it announce four more AM4 processors at CES this year – the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, Ryzen 7 5700, Ryzen 5 5600GT, and Ryzen 5 5500GT – but AMD's Donny Woligroski flat out told PC World that the company would continue to support the platform for the time being, or at least until the cost of producing the older DDR4 memory becomes greater than that of DDR5.But doesn't the company want people to upgrade to AM5? Most certainly, but Woligroski made it clear that AM5 is for those with an eye on the future.
