AMD promised AM5 support until 2029, and the memory crisis might not let it stop there
AMD has promised to support the AM5 platform until 2029, which is a longer period than initially expected. The company's decision to extend the platform's lifespan is largely due to the memory crisis and the fact that some buyers are not ready to move to DDR5. As a result, AM5 will coexist with the older AM4 platform, which is still receiving CPU refreshes and new releases.
- ▪AMD initially promised to support the AM5 platform until 2025, but later extended it to 2027 and now 2029.
- ▪The company's decision to extend the platform's lifespan is largely due to the memory crisis and the fact that some buyers are not ready to move to DDR5.
- ▪The AM4 platform, which was released in 2016, has reached its 10-year mark and is still receiving CPU refreshes and new releases.
