On X570 and B550 motherboard with BIOS update

AMD's Robert Hallock has given a quick insight into the future of AMD's Socket AM4, as well as some history on how far has it come since AMD made that bold commitment back in 2016.

Back in 2016, AMD made a commitment or rather a promise to continue support for AM4 socket until 2020, and it has gone quite a way. According to AMD, the company has increased the core and thread count on the same socket by 4x and 8x, respectively (4C4t to 16C32t). The socket has gone through four architectures, Excavator, Zen, Zen+, and Zen 2, across four different manufacturing processes, 28nm, 14nm, 12nm, and 7nm. It has also brought 33 percent higher DRAM bandwidth, from DDR4-2400 to DDR4-3200+, and four times higher PCIe bandwidth, from 12x PCIe Gen3 to 24x PCIe Gen 4.
