AMD Zen 4 architecture Raphael processor installed AM5 socket renderings leaks

About two months ago, information about AMD‘s new generation AM5 socket was exposed on the Internet. As the successor to the AM4 socket, the socket type will be changed from PGA to LGA. AMD’s move has received positive feedback. AM5 is LGA 1718, square structure, 40×40 mm area. Subsequently, the rendering of the Ryzen processor code-named Raphael was exposed. The Raphael processor of the Zen 4 architecture has a good chance of becoming the first product to use the new socket.

Recently, Twitter user @ExecuFix once again released the layout of the AM5 socket. AMD’s next-generation processors should be less likely to be damaged during the installation process. The rendering shows the new locking mechanism of the AM5 socket, which is realized by simple locks and clips. The processor on the picture is the previously exposed Raphael processor, which is expected to be launched in the second half of 2022.

It is rumored that the Raphael processor will also use the Zen 3 architecture processor to join the 3D V-Cache design, the maximum number of cores is configured to 16, and the TSMC 5nm process is used. IOD is a 6nm or 7nm process, integrated RDNA 2 architecture core display, provides 28 PCIe Gen4 channels, supports dual-channel DDR5-5200 memory, may support native USB 4.0 interface, TDP is between 105W-120W, can be configured up to 170W version, and provide a frequency of about 5GHz.
