PS: AM4/DDR4 will likely sell by side with AM5/DDR5 for quite awhile, so there is no big need for them to make Zen4 have a DDR4 IMC, Zen5 and successors even more so. AM5 is gonna be another platform with longevity, tying it down with dual DDR4/5 compatibilities hold it back. Remember, whatever comes after desktop Raptor Lake for Intel (either Meteor Lake or Lunar Lake) will need be on a new socket/chipset...

Early adopters will get screwed in some way, by DDR5 prices, platform bugs, etc, but it's still a fine strategy and AM4 owners should have some good choices for at least a couple of years. I hope we see some interesting budget options on AM5 eventually.

The small integrated graphics included on Raphael will be a nice addition. There are definitely programmer types out there who would want a 6-core or even 16-core Zen 4 CPU with 4 CUs of low-clocked RDNA2.

This is gonna be be the motherload of consumer announcements.

- New socket/new chipsets (chiplet based)
- New desktop and mobile CPU/APU architecture(s)
- New GPU architecture
- Possible sneak peeks at more

Hopefully some concrete launch dates on some of these as well.

The high-end X670 Extreme chipset is supposed to be featured on the most expensive AM5 motherboards, and AMD is apparently forcing PCIe 5.0-only support for GPU and storage on these models. The X670 models, on the other hand, could feature either PCie 4.0 or PCIe 5.0, while the budget B650 solutions would be limited to PCIe 4.0.
