How long does AMD plan on using the AM5 socket?

I’ve heard 2025, but then I’ve also heard 2026. So sounds like at least 2-3 more years.

At least through 2025: https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-am5-support-thru-2025/

And then there's the possibility of random releases to exhaust the inventory of old chiplets.

Love AMD supporting the socket longer than others. Intel really should do this too.

We know they could if they wanted too.

Who wants to buy a new MB every 2 years?

I also parrot 2025. It is important to note that in spite of being past the announced support date of AM4, there are rumors that they have more of the X3D CPU for that socket coming.

I agree with the above in that this long period support is really nice. I hope it doesn't turn into the BIOS quagmire that AM4 did in some cases but for sure would consider any updates from a 7xxx to an 8xxx (presumed) CPU, I would hold onto that 7xxx in the spare parts bin for a while just in case....
