- AMD still does not give up on the users of Cipset AM4, with another AM4 processor that is launched
- The Ryzen 5 5600F processor will be available for AM4 plugs
- Nine years have passed since AMD launched the chipset am4 platform
It is always great to see the manufacturers and companies that serve the public that use older hardware, and AMD does it constantly, with the AM4 motherboard chips (which admit some of the best available processors) that defend themselves years after its 2016 launch. A long time it continues.
As reported by Videocardz, AMD has revealed the Ryzen 5 5600F, a new AM4 processor that is a slightly stripped version of the Ryzen 5 5600, with a lower base watch and impulse clock speeds than its old man, 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 commitment to its users.
It is worth noting that AMD AM5 chipset has been available to consumers since 2022, which contains multiple alignments that are excellent for games and productivity. However, the purchase of a new Ryzen 7000 series (or higher) processor requires a new PCIE 5.0 motherboard, thanks to its AM5 plugs, including the new RAM DDR5 sticks, since DDR4 is not compatible with the PCIE 5.0 wooden plates.
That is exactly the reason why Team Red deserves praise, since many other PC players still use AM4 processors, and will probably be for a long time. High -end CPUs such as the Ryzen 7 5700x3D (my processor) or the Ryzen 7 5800x3D are still more than capable of attending the high -end GPUs such as RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, where it is probably probable to play 1440p or 4K resolutions.
Essentially, there are very few reasons to update its motherboard for an AM5 processor if you are already using some of the best CPU AM4, and it is great to see that the AMD continues to introduce more affordable options, considering the possibilities that the highest quality AM4 processors be discontinued.
Analysis: I will not change my system in the coming years, but well in you AMD
The update to AM5 processors would be a slightly expensive effort for PC users, since it would require an almost completely new system (apart from the GPU). While I have not had any intention of doing so, and it is likely that there are other PC users who are happy with AM4, it is great to see the red team considering affordable routes for consumers.
It is not difficult to suggest that hardware is expensive due to a combination of factors, but particularly due to tariffs recently, and it is not unusual to see that first -line AM4 processors disappear from online markets. Therefore, it is a breath of fresh air to see the Ryzen 5 5600F.
I hope that the same can be done with the FSR 4 of AMD and that the oldest 3 RDNA 3 GPUs will be reversed, which allows players to benefit from a better image quality by increasing without spending large dollars on a new graphics card.
I don’t know how long AMD plans to continue with am4 support, but I don’t expect an AM6 socket in the short term, so I’m quite sure that you don’t stop here for new AM4 processors.
