Over the past few years,amdIt has been committed to providing stable and high-performance processors and platforms to bring excellent experience to PC users. Recently,amdIt was announced at a technical exhibition that they will continue to fully supportam4platform, untilddr4Until the cost of memory production exceeds DDR5 memory. This message is for current useam4Good news for users of the platform, who can confidently continue to use their current hardware devices without worrying about upgrading prematurely.
It is worth mentioningamdThis decision was clearly confirmed by their Technical Marketing Manager, Donny Woligroski. He said that only when the old version is producedddr4When the cost of memory exceeds DDR5 memoryamdwill stop rightam4Platform support. Behind this decision is:amdThe company has a long-term in-depth study of user needs and a keen grasp of market dynamics. In the current market environment,am4Users of the platform can rely on it with confidenceamdto extend the life of the hardware without having to think about upgrades prematurely.
AlthoughamdRightam4The support of the platform is long-term, but for some users who are looking forward to future developmentsamdThe AM5 platform is also available as an alternative. The AM5 platform features the latest memory and PCIe standards for those who have a discerning mind and want to prepare for the future. amdThis initiative provides users with more options and flexibility to make appropriate decisions based on their individual needs and budget.
Whether you continue to use itam4Whether the platform or upgrade to the AM5 platform, each user should make a decision based on their needs and budget. Here's rightam4Some comparisons with the AM5 platform help users understand the advantages and disadvantages between the two.
1. Advantages of the AM4 platform
First of all,am4The platform has been in the market for some time, is recognized by the majority of users and has been fully verified. This means:am4The stability and reliability of the platform have been fully tested. In addition,am4The cost of the platform is relatively low, which is an important consideration for some users on a budget.
Secondly, for those dependentamdFor users of the current platform, migrate to a completely new slotArchitectureThere may be some difficulties. The migration process required the purchase of additional hardware appliances, which not only increased the cost, but also increased the complexity of the configuration. In contrast, continue to useam4The platform avoids these issues and makes it easier for users to extend the life of their hardware.
In addition,am4Some technical issues on the platform have also been gradually resolved. For example, the initial launch of the AM5 platform had instabilities between the AGESA microcode and DDR5 memory standards. But in the last few years,amdwithMotherboardManufacturers have worked closely together to roll out a series of updates that significantly improve the DDR5 compatibility and stability of the AM5.
2. Advantages of the AM5 platform
Althougham4The platform has many advantages, but the AM5 platform also has its own unique advantages. First of all, the AM5 platform adopts the latest memory and PCIe standards to bring users higher performance and better scalability. This means that users can better cope with future computing needs and enjoy a smoother experience.
Secondly, the AM5 platform is very important in the design and designArchitectureIt has also been fully upgraded. New slotsArchitectureThe ability to support higher processor frequencies and higher core counts allows users to gain more computing power. In addition, new chipsets and technologiesArchitectureIt also provides users with more features and options, such as faster storage speeds and better graphics performance.
In mentionedamdWhen it comes to the support of the AM5 platform, we have to mentionamdA remark from d**idmcafee, vice president and general manager of the customer channel business. He said,amdIt is planned to continue to support the AM5 platform for years to come, and it is very importantam4The longevity of the platform. In fact,amdBelieveam4The longevity of the platform is one of the key factors in the success of Ryzen processors.
While there is no clear statement on the exact duration of support, McAfee emphasizesamdExtending support for the AM5 platform will be decided on a case-by-case basis to ensure that users can use AM5 for as long as possible. He mentionedamdA strong commitment to support the timeline for 2025 and beyond, and will adjust the support time based on market demand and technological progress. This commitment showsamdAttention to user needs and foresight for future developments.
In summary,amdPledge to continue to support in the futuream4platform, untilddr4The cost of memory production exceeds that of DDR5 memory. For those users who wish to prepare for the future,amdThe AM5 platform was launched as an alternative. am4Both the platform and the AM5 platform have their own advantages and disadvantages, and users can make a choice based on their needs and budget. Whether you choose to continue using itam4The platform is still upgraded to the AM5 platformamdWe will provide long-term technical support and make corresponding adjustments according to market demand and technological progress. As users, we should make an informed choice based on our needs and budget, and we believe itamdwill provide us with the best solution.
