Previously, AMD had only committed to support the socket through 2027. With the extended timeline and AMD’s usual release cadence, support through 2029 should mean we’ll see at least two more generations on the socket as AMD continues to fight for slots among the best CPUs for gaming . We first saw the AM5 socket with the release of Ryzen 7000 CPUs with the Zen 4 architecture in 2022. At the time, AMD said it would support the socket through “2025+.” With the release of Zen 5 in 2024, AMD extended the window to “2027+.” Now, we’re getting another two-year bump, though without Zen 6 CPUs in hand. We expect to see them soon, however, as AMD continues to double down on Zen 6 arriving in the data center this year .

That may seem like a small difference, but as you can see from AMD’s own slides, it uses “2027+” right next to “2029.” We’ve reached out to AMD to confirm if 2029 is the end of the line for AM5. A company spokesperson responded with the following: "AMD is unable to comment on future products/roadmap."
