AMD Extends AM5 Longevity Through 2029, Giving It the AM4 Treatment With New Ryzen CPU Releases

AMD said its AM5 desktop socket will stay supported through 2029.

The extended timeline likely covers future Ryzen chips built on Zen 6 and Zen 7.

The move mirrors AMD’s long AM4 support approach and suggests no near-term platform change.

For PC builders, longer AM5 support should lower upgrade costs and reduce worries about socket obsolescence.
