AMD Ryzen
AM4 CPU list and upgrade notes.
AM4 remains a major used CPU platform. Check motherboard BIOS support, board quality and whether a late Ryzen 5000 chip is better value than a full platform move.
| Family | Examples | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 1000 and 2000 | 1600, 2600, 2700X | Only attractive in very cheap bundles. |
| Ryzen 3000 | 3600, 3700X, 3900X | Still common in used systems. |
| Ryzen 5000 | 5600, 5700X3D, 5800X3D, 5900X | Best AM4 upgrade group. |
