Ryzen 5 5500X3D hits China, keeping AM4 upgrades relevant
AMD’s Ryzen 5 5500X3D is making the jump from a limited regional SKU to broader retail availability, with new listings indicating the processor is now being sold in China.
MSI не торопится списывать AM4 со счетов: свежие платы с поддержкой DDR4 в 2026 году
MSI совсем недавно удивила, представив новые материнские платы на чипсете B550. Почему удивила? Ну, новинка необычна для 2026 года, ведь платформа AM4 уже считается относительно устаревшей. Компания выпустила две компактные модели формата micro-ATX, рассчитанные на системы с памятью DDR4 и процессорами Ryzen серий 3000 и 5000. Появление таких решений выглядит вполне логичным на фоне текущей ситуации на рынке комплектующих. А с ним, рынком, сейчас не все ок. Давайте все это и обсудим в статье.

Die Speicherkrise zwingt Hersteller zum Umdenken. Asus plant offenbar, die Produktion älterer Mainboards wieder hochzufahren. Daher könnten AM4 und LGA-1700 im Jahr 2026 ein unerwartetes Comeback feiern. Eine Dauerlösung ist das aber wohl nicht.
Oh yeah, i can ask here too.
Im currently searching for an AM4 mini ITX Mainboard. Ram and cpu is already here. If you have something and dont mind selling it to me, i would really appriciate

Saw an article comparing the #AMD "#AM4 Platform" lasting 9 years and counting to "#PowerPC" lasting 12, and I got the impression this person didn't realize that the comparison they are comparing a #CPUSocket to a #CPUArchitecture, because as fas as I know, you couldn't upgrade an early #PPC #CPU to a much newer one without getting a new motherboard...
That aside, it is impressive how the #ZenArchitecture, after a decade of weird short-term stuff like the Bulldozer, managed to become such a long lasting standard. It's like they tried out so many weird methods trying to make chips that ran better, only to come up with this relatively simple way of building things.
And honestly, I don't think Zen is that different from Intel architectures, once you get past the compiler flags. As long as it all runs the same code at the end of the day, it doesn't matter...
...but the lifespan of those Sockets, AM4 and now #AM5, that's a consumer value that I don't think is matched right now.
