AMD is extending the longevity of its AM5 platform, further adding more life into the socket with future Ryzen CPU support. AM4 Is Still Going Strong, & AM5 Is Looking To Follow Its Predecessor With Extended Longevity The first AMD AM4 motherboards launched back in 2016. At that time, the socket supported one of the last AMD A-series APU family based on a Non-Zen architecture, called Bristol Ridge. Following these, the company introduced its "Ryzen" family featuring the Zen 1 architecture in 2017. This was followed by new Zen architectures such as Zen+, Zen 2, and Zen 3. Even to […]

Intel's next-gen Nova Lake-S CPUs will feature a 44-core "Dual Compute Tile" CPU config instead of a 42-core configuration. Intel Nova Lake-S 42-Core Desktop CPU Spec Upgraded To 44 Cores, Retains Dual Compute Tile Config With bLLC A few months back, we reported that Intel was working on a range of Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs that will come in 52, 42, 28, and 24 core configurations, all featuring bLLC cache. It looks like one of these SKUs will be getting a spec upgrade. As per Jaykihn, the 42-core spec has now been upgraded to 44 cores, featuring 16 P-Cores (2x8) and […]

Future Intel Desktop sockets might support several generations of CPUs, as hinted by Robert Hallock in an interview with Club386. Intel Might Finally Offer Extended Desktop Socket Support For Multiple CPU Generations If there's one area where Intel has lagged versus AMD, that's socket support. Since the release of the first "Ryzen" CPU back in 2017, AMD has released two sockets, AM4 and AM5. Meanwhile, Intel has a total of four socket releases since then, starting with LGA 1151, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, & the most recent, LGA 1851 socket. Later this year, Intel will release a fifth socket, LGA […]
