AMD announces extension of AM5 platform support until 2029 and launches multiple new CPUs

[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, AMD announced during the Taipei Computex that the support cycle of the AM5 platform will be extended to 2029. According to previous statements, AM5 was originally expected to be supported until 2027, which means that the life cycle of the platform will be further extended. AMD also launched Ryzen 7 7700X3D, Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition and Radeon RX 9070 GRE.

AMD will launch the AM5 platform at the end of 2022. If calculated based on 2029, the total platform support time will reach about 7 years. For users, this arrangement means that existing motherboard platforms are expected to have longer room for processor upgrades. In contrast, the AM4 platform continues to be updated. In the past two years, AMD has successively launched Ryzen 9 5900XT, Ryzen 7 5800T, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, Ryzen 5 5600XT, Ryzen 5 5600T, Ryzen 5 5600F and Ryzen 5 5500X3D.

The newly released Ryzen 7 7700X3D uses an 8-core 16-thread design with a maximum frequency of 4.5GHz, a total cache capacity of 104MB, a thermal design power consumption of 120W, and is priced at US$329. It will be available on July 16. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition is priced at US$349 and will be released on June 25th, and comes with Carbice Ice Pad thermal material. AMD simultaneously extends support for AM5 and continues to update AM4 this time, which also shows its continued investment in platform compatibility and upgrade continuity.
