New AMD Socket AM5 Updates
With the introduction of the Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors, AMD also introduced the new Socket AM5 platform, which offers cutting-edge connectivity features such as dual-channel DDR5 memory. The AM5 platform also features up to 24 PCIe® 5.0 lanes, making it AMD’s most expansive desktop platform to date. Support for new and evolving technologies such as PCIe® Gen 5 and DDR5 memory allows users to grow with their Socket AM5 solution, which AMD will support with platform longevity to 2025 and beyond.
The new family of Socket AM5 motherboards includes four new chipsets, giving users the power and flexibility to choose the exact features they want. The four chipsets include:
- AMD X670 Extreme: Offers maximum connectivity and extreme overclocking capabilities11 with PCIe 5.0 support for graphics and storage
- AMD X670: Supports enthusiast overclocking with PCIe® 5.0 support for storage and optional graphics support
- AMD B650E – Designed for performance users with PCIe® 5.0 storage support and optional graphics support
- AMD B650: Designed for mainstream users with support for DDR5 memory and optional PCIe® 5.0 support
The new motherboards will be available starting at a SEP of $125 USD, with the AMD X670 and X670E chipsets arriving in September and the AMD B650E and B650 chipsets arriving in October.
AMD EXPO™ Technology
New to Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors and optimized for AMD Socket AM5 motherboards, AMD EXPO™ technology provides users with advanced profile settings for DDR511 memory overclocking. When optimized for high-performance gaming, consumers can expect to see up to 11% faster gaming performance with AMD EXPO technology in F1® 202212.
AMD EXPO technology is designed to achieve higher gaming performance from pre-configured overclocking profiles11 and is easy to implement. PC enthusiasts who want to understand the finer details of an AMD EXPO technology-enabled module can find public self-certification reports, which clearly lay out the module’s complete timing table, components, and system configuration used to complete memory specifications. AMD offers EXPO technology to its industry memory partners with no royalties or license fees.
AMD EXPO technology arrives alongside AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors, with offerings from ADATA, Corsair, GeIL, G.SKILL and Kingston. More than 15 memory kits with AMD EXPO technology will be available initially, with memory speeds up to DDR5-6400.
