#AM5 Motherboard Ryzen 7000

AMD has officially unveiled the newest Ryzen 7000 series processors claiming the best gaming processors to land on September 27, 2022, for USD 699 globally.  The top-of-the-line of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X will have a 16-Core, 32-thread putting it USD 100 below the previous SRP of the Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5950X. The AMD Ryzen 7000 series are built on TSMC's 5nm process with the new Zen 4 core architecture giving consumers a series of firsts for AMD such as the PCIe Gen 5 bandwidth and DDR5 memory support. Along with the AMD Ryzen, 7000 Series launches are the AMD Socket AM5 and AMD 5 Motherboards. This new AM5 socket for the AMD Ryzen 7000 series was teased with the main highlight of switching from a PGA to an LGA-based socket giving the AM5 a 1718-pin LGA socket giving it up to 230W socket power delivery headroom. For those wondering about compatibility, coolers from the AM4 sockets are compatible with the AM5 motherboards, but other features like the DDR4 memory do not have backward compatibility. The AM5 lineup of motherboards is equally interesting. Some brands have released an X670E version of the AM5 motherboards along with their PH SRPs.
