Your AMD Ryzen motherboard will support not one but two more CPU gens, says leak

You won’t need to upgrade your motherboard or DDR5 memory if you want to upgrade to the next generation of AMD Ryzen gaming CPUs, or even the generation after that, according to the latest leak. The latest rumor is that AMD Zen 7 CPUs, which aren’t due for years yet, will continue to use Socket AM5 and will be compatible with motherboards that are now several years old.

That’s potentially good news for anyone who’s paired their AMD CPU with the best gaming motherboard they can afford from our buying guide, as it means they’ll be able to upgrade to a brand new CPU a few years down the line. In fact, according to the latest rumors, AMD Zen 7 is shaping up to offer up to 32 cores in a single CPU package, which would be a substantial upgrade over today’s CPUs.
