- AMD does not yet give up users of the AM4 chipset, with another AM4 launch processor
- The Ryzen 5 5600F processor will be available for AM4 sockets
- AM4 chipset platform has been launched for nine years now
It’s always great to see manufacturers and companies addressing the public using older equipment, and AMD does it regularly, with AM4 motherboard chipsets (which support some of the best available processors) being defended for years after its launch in 2016. May he continue.
As reported by Videocardz, AMD revealed the Ryzen 5 5600F, a new AM4 processor which is a slightly stripped version of the Ryzen 5,5600, with a lower basic clock and basic clock speeds that its elder, 3.0 GHz and 4.0 GHz, respectively. This occurs nine years after the launch of the AM4 chipset and represents another year of AMD engagement to its users.
It should be noted that AMD’s AMD chipset has been available for consumers since 2022, which contains several ranges that are ideal for games and productivity. However, the purchase of a new Ryzen 7000 (or more) processor requires a new PCIe 5.0 motherboard, thanks to their AM5 sockets, including new RAM DDR5 sticks, because DDR4 is not compatible with PCIe 5.0 motherboards.
This is exactly why Team Red deserves praise, because many other PC players still use AM4 processors, and will probably be long. High -end AM4 processors such as the Ryzen 7 5700x3d (my processor) or the Ryzen 7 5800X3D are even more than capable of serving high -end GPUs like RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, where you go more than probably 1440p or 4K games.
Essentially, there are very few reasons to upgrade your motherboard for an AM5 processor if you already use some of the best AM4 processors, and it is great to see AMD continue to introduce more affordable options, taking into account the chances that the better quality AM4 processors are interrupted.
Analysis: I will probably not change my system for the years to come, but good on you AMD
The upgrade to the AM5 processors would be a slightly expensive company for PC users, as it would require an almost new system (apart from the GPU). Although I have no intention of doing so, and there are probably other PC users who are satisfied with AM4, it is always great to see Team Red considering affordable routes for consumers.
It is not an exaggeration to suggest that the equipment is expensive due to a combination of factors, but in particular due to the rates recently, and it is not uncommon to see high -end AM4 processors disappear from online markets. It is therefore a breath of fresh air to see the Ryzen 5 5600F.
I hope that the same thing can be done with the FSR 4 of AMD and that it returned to the old GPUs of DNA 3, allowing players to benefit from an improved image quality during the scaling without having to spend large dollars on a new graphics card.
I do not know how long AMD plans to continue with the AM4 support, but I do not expect an AM6 socket anytime soon, so I am quite confident that it will not stop here for the new AM4 processors.
