AMD extends AM5 socket support through 2029

June 01, 2026

AMD announced extensions to its processor socket support at Computex. The company will keep the AM5 platform viable until at least 2029. It also detailed new and re-released Ryzen processors for both AM5 and AM4 sockets.

AMD said it is extending official support for the AM5 socket to at least 2029. The move adds two to four years beyond previous targets of 2025 and 2027. Owners of AM5 motherboards can therefore expect at least one or two additional generations of Ryzen processors, including chips based on the upcoming Zen 6 architecture that will raise maximum core counts from 16 to 24.
