The 1,718 fragile pins are more naturally protected by the LGA format, nested in the motherboard socket and kept covered until seconds before the CPU is installed. The motherboards with the AM5 socket will also be the first to support DDR5 memories, at least on the AMD front, as well as the new PCI Express 5.0 interface. Unfortunately, DDR5 RAM is quite expensive at the moment due to the lack of PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit), but the situation should improve over the past few months.

It will therefore be predefined overclocking profiles that will be used by the higher-end modules to maximize the overall performance of the system. AMD RAMP will most likely be compatible with Intel XMP 3.0, but the technology can also be adopted exclusively by memory manufacturers, as has happened in the past with G.Skill and its A-XMP certified kits for Ryzen.
