AMD’s next-gen Ryzen 9000 desktop chips and the Zen 5 architecture arrive in July


But AMD says AM4 will hang around for budget PCs well into 2025.

AMD is also announcing a pair of high-end chipsets, though they don't offer much that's new; 600-series boards should all support Ryzen 9000 after a BIOS update. The processors’ power requirements aren’t changing, so users with 600-series motherboards ought to be able to use Ryzen 9000 CPUs with little to no performance penalty following a BIOS update. AM4 is still a surprisingly decent budget platform given that the socket was introduced eight years ago, and AMD does, in fact, continue to trickle out new Ryzen 5000-series CPUs to give buyers and upgrades more options.
