AMD Socket AM5 will be LGA format, according to leak

The LGA is bad news IMO. I have damaged 3 LGA1155 motherboards in the last 12-18 months. I do not know how it happened. I would prefer to wreck a CPU than a motherboard because LGA sockets are extremely difficult and expensive to repair if the socket needs to be replaced when pins cannot be straightened. I was considering moving to AMD but now there is little difference in that respect.

I am very disappointed in this news.

to be fair it's not yet confirmed and I guess AMD have the same problem as Intel had in the amount of pins needed makes it prohibitive to stay with PGA

Its swings and roundabouts. The Intel motherboards can get bent pins,but at the same time I managed to somehow bend a pin on my Ryzen 7 3700X(luckily bent it back). So I am not sure what is worse!

Maybe we need to move to the slot CPUs again!!

My excitement knows no bounds . How about some real news on am5 ?
