AMD Socket AM5 an LGA of 1,718 Pins with DDR5 and PCIe Gen 4

[The red spirit]

If you are somehow unable to not damage pins on CPU/MOBO leave it to a shop or someone qualified to do it for you then (that goes for untalented people as well).

I really don't get all the moaning about bent pads/pins on LGA or PGA...I've removed/installed CPUs countless times without damaging any of it.

I managed to damage socket pins by just mounting Scythe Choten cooler too tightly. I never had any problems with AMDs before. You could probably smack them with hammer and they will be fine (as long as they are in socket). Intel just had inferior mounting system with LGA1200. Also if CPU pins were bent then fixing that is easy, but Intel's motherboard pins just straight up fell out. I don't wan to see any other LGA socket in my life.

he got upset people gave him facts and told him he was wrong, inboxed me some harassment and left the forum. He gone.

He (or she) was (half) right on one (minor) point: AMD ripped off BMW's naming scheme only after they saw Intel doing the same.

Harassing a moderator? Jese, that's a rather dumb thing to do.

He came off as a conspiracy nut, with some long winded stories about how AMD are only good because they poached one intel employee, who then left back for intel - none of which is actually relevant to the products for purchase, it's only backstory.

AMD have rarely had the performance lead (but it has happend a few times), but they're always aiming to be the first and most creative when it comes to tech. x86-64, first to 1GHz, first IMC...
Not all their tech ideas work out, but holy shit they innovate and always have

Yeah, unlike that other company that was taking a five-year-long snooze and only woke up because AMD came along and lit a fire under their collective asses.

Don't forget Infinity Fabric and chiplet CPU/GPU design!
I can just imagine some engineer at AMD going "Hey, what if we chopped up the CPU die into smaller pieces?

And yeah, Intel basically pulled a Tortoise and the Hare. Outsprinted AMD early, then went to take a nap for 7 years and AMD passed them.

What I really hope for is a CPU retention mechanism similar to Intel that won't allow the CPU to come off the socket still glued to the heatsink, give me that and I'll be happy. That only happened to me once after using crappy paste, but I've seen it happen to others.

 

[abdulhkeem]

If AMD are going LGA for mainstream desktop CPU's I'll be down with that if they use an installation style like that of Threadripper

That would be the best socket to date, i did drop my 6700k in the socket once lucky for me it was 1 or 2 pins fixed them with a needle, that will sure ease the removal and install.

This sums it up:

Haveing gen 4 drives my self - I do find it doubtfull that 14.000MB/sek transfer rate desktop parts is high demand any time soon - 4tb drives to a affordable price though

Sustained speed is pretty much useless, small write/reads are whats important

In real world usage my WD SN850 performs idential on my Intel (signature rig) and my AMD rig which is B550 + 5600X, 6700XT

So PCIe 5.0 is going to be pretty pointless for consumer market, PCIe 4.0 x16 does not even improve GPU performance compared to 3.0 x16

 

[Mussels]

PCI-E 5.0 is gunna be like 4.0, its biggest advantage is on devices using 1x slots

a 5.0 1x USB 4.0 controller is gunna work a lot better than on 1x 3.0

I hope the pins are sturdier than Intel's.

Intel has been using LGA since Pentium 4 days, no pins

 

[Caring1]

Wow, no pins in the socket, why didn't I notice that /s

 

[AleXXX666]

Oh crap.
Now there will be people who go "AMD TO INTEL SOCKET ADAPTER?!?!?!" more frequently.
Also, AMD, please make your socket pins more durable.

lol, am I one here who hadn't any damn single issue with LGA socket pins?...

This isn't AM5? False information, this is the upcoming Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX. The actual AM5 layout is much shorter and doesn't have resistors and transistors in the middle of the underside. If you do want to see the AM5 socket, on asus's website shows the AM5 socket along with the motherboard.

why not?

 

[windwhirl]

why not?

Because the topic of AM5's socket has been covered to death in multiple far more recent articles?

AMD CES 2022 Liveblog: Zen 3+, RDNA2 IGP, 6nm, RX 6500 XT, AM5, Zen 4 and More

Although physically away from the 2022 International CES, AMD is hosting a virtual press event to announce many new consumer products. The year's biggest tech-show allows AMD to talk about its latest, and next-generation architectures, the products it has in store for 2022, as well as introduce...

www.techpowerup.com

Such as TPU's CES 2022 live coverage article, where it's confirmed the AM5 socket is a LGA 1718 design.

Then you mention the TR PRO 5995WX for absolutely no reason that I can glean from your out of the blue post.

So, two things really:

Thread necroing (that is, reviving a forum thread that has been inactive for a long time) isn't exactly appreciated most of the time, unless it's actually interesting/useful information. It can actually be considered spam, since posting in a thread sends notifications to everyone that has the thread on watch.

When making a comment that references or replies to another comment, do make use of the quote system. It's far easier to understand what you're replying/commenting on.

You found an old article before those images existed, and argued with it.
