Am4 Pin — Layout ^hot^

With AM5, bent pins are a motherboard problem, not a CPU problem. You cannot “straighten” them as easily.

The AM4 socket is an LGA (Land Grid Array) socket, which means it has pins on the socket itself rather than on the CPU, as seen in PGA (Pin Grid Array) sockets. This design change was a departure from AMD's previous CPU socket architectures. With AM5, bent pins are a motherboard problem,

Ryzen APUs (2000G, 3000G, 4000G, 5000G) have extra pins for: Beside it sat the Ryzen processor, its underside

The AMD AM4 socket is a interface featuring 1,331 pins . Unlike Intel or newer AM5 sockets where pins are on the motherboard, AM4 pins are located directly on the underside of the processor. 1. General Pin Map & Organization
