LGA or PGA? That is the question! At least for AMD's new Ryzen-7000 processors. First Leaks show that AMD switches his pin layout for the chips and finally could solve an annoying problem.
Ryzen 7000: New pin layout for AMD processors
So far, AMD and Intel processors were not only very well different from their print, the pin layout on the back of the CPUs revealed at first glance, from which manufacturer of the calculation chip comes. While intel the necessary pins for producing a contact between CPU and motherboard have been installed directly on the latter, AMD is turned over: the contact surfaces can be found on the motherboard, but the pins are stuck directly on the CPU.
But with the change from AM4 to AM5, that should change. At the end of 2022, the new Ryzen-7000 processors are expected to set to a so-called LGA layout like Intel ** (Source: VideoCardZ). And that could solve a problem. With the current AM4 socket, it is quite possible to remove the cooler together with the CPU if it is dismantled.
The reason: The used thermal paste develops over time to a kind of adhesive which holds CPU and cooler together. Anyone who does not pay attention to the conversion risks that the chip then triggers, falls and possibly damages - an annoying problem.
A look at the first lactic render pictures shows: With the upcoming AM5 socket, that should be finally history:
A metal flap keeps the processor on the sides next to the heatspreader on the spot - Intel users should only be known to this construction.
AM5 socket: What brings the new standard?
According to the current information, the number of pins and contacts will be increased from 1,331 to 1.718 . The additional contact surfaces could be used, for example, to provide four other PCIe lanes. This allows users to build another M.2 SSD for example.
_Alles, what to know about SSDs, we have briefly summarized for you and just in the pins headlines: _
It is also assuming that AMD will switch to DDR5-RAM with the jump on AM5. The new memory should offer higher work speeds - peak values of up to 8,000 MHz are possible in theory.
What do you say that AMD cut out a slice of Intel at the pin layout? Have you ever had the problem that you have drawn the CPU with the dismantling of the radiator immediately with from your system? Track us in the comments!
