According to our sources, the AM6 AMD Socket will be very similar to the AM5 Socket. In order to continue its own tradition, AMD will aloow us to reuse the coolers we are now using on AM5 Socket (E.g. we ware able to use the old Socket 939 coolers on the AM4 Socket!).

But ... how can AMD be able to integrate the next generation PCIE 6.0 and DDR6 technology on the same surface without having any problems? We have seen that Intel Socket 1700 was bigger than the Intel Socket 1200. AMD, on the other hand, want to keep the same size, so they have to increase the Pins density. That's why we can read some recent patents of AMD about that. For example the patent US 20250149428.

  

As you can see, the Socket is almost identical to the AM5 Socket. The density of the pins is terrific.

The new AM6 Socket will have got about 2100 pins and will be commercialized during the 2028, when the uArch Zen 7 will be ready.
