AMD is preparing to release a new stand AM4, which will maintain both systems from AMD SoC generation "Bristol-Ridge", and standard CPU processors from generation "Summit Ridge" (t. it is. model, based on the long-awaited mikrarhitekture Zen). What can we expect from the new stand?
Кое-что на эту тему выявила транспортная служба Zauba, which on its website published a message on the test motherboard company Sapphire socket AM4 for processors Bristol-Ridge - it implies, that we are dealing here with the case of type PGA, equipped 1331 contact. For comparison socket FM2 + 906, и AM3+ имеют 942 контакта.
Довольно интересно выглядят и утечки с итальянского сайта Bits and Chips, as they say, that the motherboard will support precisely the type OPGA (Organic Pin Grid Array), which is to support processors with a TDP exceeding even 140 AT. But the message still has not been confirmed.
Also on the service Bits and Chips states, allegedly the size of the socket mounting holes were changed to developed motherboard AM4, they will have a center distance 90 mm x 54 mm, but it's a bit shorter and wider, on the current socket AM3 + / FM2 + (96 x 48 mm). If the information would be real, the old cooling system will not be compatible processors, and require the use of the new mounting system.
When can we expect the premiere of the first processors and motherboards? AMD does not want to disclose any information on this topic, but rumors point to the last quarter of this year,. It is not excluded, что первые платы с подставкой AM4 They will be presented at the June Computex 2016.
