BTCCSquare news:
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares declined Tuesday as rumors surfaced about its next-generation Zen 7 processors. Contrary to earlier speculation about a shift to AM6 sockets, leaks suggest AMD will retain the AM5 platform—enabling easier upgrades for existing users but potentially limiting new motherboard sales.
Tech YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead cited internal documents indicating the reversal, drawing parallels to AMD’s last-minute Zen 3 socket change. The decision balances customer convenience against lost hardware revenue, reflecting the semiconductor industry’s tightrope walk between innovation and backward compatibility.
