WCCFTech published photos, which imprinted processor socket Socket AM4, as well as the back side of a processor by AMD under this connector.
Published photos confirm that AMD does not change, and Socket AM4 is the processor socket type PGA (matrix pins). The new connector has a contact 1331, which is the most significant change, compared with a socket AM3 +, on whose processor has a total 942 "legs". In other words, the number of contacts increased by more than 40%.
At the same time, most of the CPU socket area remained the same: 40 x 40 mm. Note that the Socket AM4 is the first PGA-socket, whose contact is greater than the actual socket Intel LGA 1151. processor socket is made in white color, the once traditional for AMD, and has the same locking mechanism as that of the previous AMD sockets .
Recall that Socket AM4 is the first AMD's CPU socket, which can work with both conventional and hybrid processors of the company. The first processor in the performance of Socket AM4 will board APU family of Bristol Ridge, and CPU family of Summit Ridge (Zen). The new platform will bring long-awaited support for PCIe 3.0 (up to 24 lines), USB 3.0 and USB 3.1, NVMe, SATA Express and DDR4 memory (frequency up to 3200 MHz, dual-channel mode). The first announcements of the motherboard with processor socket Socket AM4 are expected as early as next month. Related Products :
