Reseller Roundup Issue: 1
At Computex 2022, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed that the transition to AM5 will be a gradual one and that AMD will continue to support the AM4 platform for years to come. However, with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 becoming more prevalent, and capable CPUs already available, AMD’s AM4 platform has begun to take a step back to make way for the future
Since its release in 2016, the AM4 Socket has been a game changer for AMD, serving as a replacement for 3 previous sockets (AM3+, FM2+, and FS1b) on a single platform. Outlasting half a dozen Intel generations, AM4 has proven to be a versatile and well-received platform, with over 500 different?motherboard designs?from AMD board partners.

The GPU market in recent times has been as exciting as it has been perplexing. We have seen wider adoption of raytracing and and the maturation of image upscaling and framerate boosting technologies like NVIDIA DLSS and AMD’s FSR2.0, but we have also seen the trend towards increasingly concerning TDPs and equally worrying pricing to match. This makes the recent price drops a welcome change of pace, even though it has been almost 2 years since the arrival of the Ampere and RDNA2 GPU’s.
When Intel announced their entry into the discrete GPU market, there was a palpable sense of excitement as the CPU giant would be disrupting the duopoly that NVIDIA and AMD have had for more than a decade. However, with the pandemic and semiconductor supply issues causing constant delays, the initial excitement has taken on shades of concern as next-gen graphics cards are already on the horizon before Intel has brought out their full line-up for this current generation.
