Rumor : AMD Zen & Bristol Ridge AM4 Motherboards Coming In October

AMD's upcoming AM4 motherboards for Zen & Bristol Ridge are said to be debuting in October according to churr by motherboard partners. Rumor has it that AMD's motherboard partners will be showing off their side by side generation AM4 socket based motherboards in a couple of months.

Bristol Ridge APUs for the desktop are gear up to launch around the same fourth dimension. AMD's hotly anticipated high performance Zen FX processors will be available shortly afterwards. According to President & CEO Lisa Su, desktop Zen FX processors will run across wide availability in Q1 2022 and could see limited availability in late 2022 depending on ramp up and yield.
One thing that AMD has hinted at during its recent functioning demonstration of Zen which wowed the press, is that we'll see Zen on display at CES in January of 2022. That's when desktop Zen FX CPUs are also expected to launch.

AM4, AMD'southward Next Generation Unified Socket For APUs & CPUs

AM4 is the very commencement unified socket by the company. Finally bringing all of its desktop products under one roof. The next generation AM4 socket will be compatibel with both desktop APUs and CPUs. This includes the upcoming Excavator based Bristol Ridge APUs which are set to arrive some time during the next 4 months. As well equally the brand new Meridian Ridge family unit of high-performance Zen CPUs.

Traditionally APUs had their own dedicated FM (FM1, FM2 & FM2+) socket series and shared no compatibility with the CPU only AM socket series. A bifurcation that was out of necessity more than anything else. With Carrizo ( dubbed Bristol Ridge on the desktop ), both the northbridge and southbridge have been integrated directly into the chip. Making a CPU-APU cross-compatible socket possible.

All Zen FX CPUs that are part of the Superlative Ridge family unit will include the company'south new platform security processor, PCIe 3.0 back up, dual channel DDR4 memory controllers, copious amounts of L3 cache and updated storage features. Including USB3.1 and NVMe. Summit Ridge will include CPUs ranging from 8 cores & 16 threads to 4 cores & eight threads with 95-65 watts of power.

AM4's Key Features

• DDR4 Memory
• PCIe Gen 3
• USB iii.one Gen2 10Gbps
• NVMe
• SATA Express

AMD Zen Press Release
From 7th Gen APUs to upcoming Zen-based "Pinnacle Ridge" desktop processors, the hereafter-ready AM4 platform features the newest I/O standards and an AMD commitment to support it into the future.

The initial "Zen" cores for "Meridian Ridge"-powered desktops will use the AMD AM4 socket, a new unified socket infrastructure that is uniform with 7th Generation AMD A-Serial desktop processors. With dedicated PCIe® lanes for cut-edge USB, graphics, data and other I/O, the AMD AM4 platform will not steal lanes from other devices and components. This allows users to enjoy systems with improved responsiveness and the future looking technologies that the AM4 platform provides, resulting in a powerful, scalable and reliable computing solution for all their needs.
