AMD’s Ryzen chips consistent use the AM4 socket. There are some exceptions when getting into workstation hardware or enthusiast-grade chips: AMD’s Threadripper processors fit in the TR4 socket, while some Intel chips use the LGA 2066 socket.

Is AM4 end of life?

It has 1331 pin slots and is the first from AMD to support DDR4 memory as well as achieve unified compatibility between high-end CPUs (previously using Socket AM3+) and AMD’s lower-end APUs (on various other sockets). In 2017, AMD made a commitment to using the AM4 platform with socket 1331 until 2020.

Will AM4 be discontinued?

If you’re on Team AMD, get ready for a new CPU socket. On Tuesday, the company confirmed it’s going to be introducing a new socket next year when next-generation Ryzen chips arrive, thus marking the end of the AM4 socket.
