Upcoming amd ryzen 3000 processors will be able to support ddr4
Table of contents:
The upcoming Ryzen 3000 processors with a 7nm node will propose a completely new architecture. We will have a 14nm I / O die that will handle different things, including the memory controller and the Zen 2 modules of the processors. The I / O die will act as a link between all modules, allowing AMD to increase the number of cores and other advantages.
Ryzen 3000 will support DDR4-5000 memories
Among the innovations that this will bring to the Ryzen platform, we have the one of the memory controller, which would support badly high speeds.
The improvement in memory management of the next AMD processors will give the possibility of operating with DDR4 modules at very high speed, we are talking about DDR4-5000.
If this is the case, high-speed memory would no longer be something reserved solely for Intel chips, good news for prospective buyers looking to upgrade to AMD's platform with Ryzen 3000.

It should also be noted that using high-speed DDR4 memory could only be possible with those X570 motherboards. In fact, this could be one of the main reasons to get the new motherboards that will come out with the Ryzen 3000 series. In any case, this does not mean that DDR4 memories cannot be overclocked on non-X570 motherboards to achieve these frequencies, although very few modules may be able to reach these numbers.
It is good that AMD is working to improve DDR4 memory support on Ryzen, one of the few weaknesses of the platform.

If support for x86 applications on ARM processors starts strong in 2017, it will mean bad news for Intel.
Leaked engineering samples from upcoming amd theadripper and intel cannonlake processors
We have new data showing the characteristics of various AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors, the Raven Ridge and Intel the Cannonlake.
The current am4 motherboards will be able to support pcie 4.0
AMD has confirmed that PCIe 4.0 can work on existing AM4 motherboards, but that support will depend on each of the manufacturers.
