Starting from the seventh generation APU, AMD has always insisted on using an AM4 package interface, which is true of the first, second and third generation Ruilong, providing excellent compatibility. The old motherboard can use the previous generation processor with a BIOS.

According to the roadmap, AMD will launch the Zen 3 architecture, and the IPC performance is expected to be increased by 15%. At the same time, the CCX module will be increased from 4 cores to 8 cores, and the 32MB level 3 cache will be deployed uniformly. , The corresponding Ruilong 4000 series desktop processor is expected to debut around September this year.

AMD has promised that the AM4 interface will continue at least until 2020, so will the Ruilong 4000 desktop processor remain unchanged?

The German notebook brand XMG confirmed when introducing new products that the B450 chipset is only an isomorphic microcode update, which is compatible with Ruilong 4000 series desktop processors, and the AM4 interface will fight another generation!

Of course, in addition to the B450, the existing X570, X470 and even the older X370 support the Ruilong 4000 series, but it is not easy to say whether the original mainstream B350 still supports it. In theory, there is no problem, but it may depend on the intention of the motherboard manufacturer. .

In addition, the B550 motherboard is also expected to be released in the next few weeks, and add support for PCIe 4.0 at the B450 meeting, which will help promote the popularity of PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and will also go further in USB and overclocking.

In the more distant future, AMD has also prepared the Zen 4 architecture and will use the 5nm process. It is expected to debut in late 2021, when it is likely to support DDR5 memory or even PCIe 5.0. It is likely that the interface will finally be changed.

Conscience YES! AMD Zen3 fourth-generation Ruilong still does not change the interface
