Want to upgrade to AMD's Zen 4 CPUs? You need to know this.
While the core count parity might disappoint some, early indications are that AMD will be upping power limits to boost multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, thanks in part to 170W of power being available to the new Socket AM5. This is in addition to architectural improvements and AMD itself has claimed that there will be greater than 15 percent uplift in single-thread performance.
This should be enough for them to leapfrog Intel's 12th Gen CPUs, but quite how expensively or comprehensively they do that remains to be decided.
Thankfully, your cooler should be compatible - but not in all situations. If your cooler attaches to the standard mounting brackets on AMD current sockets, then it will fit on Socket AM5 too. If it uses the standard AMD backplate to secure to the motherboard, it too will work. What might not work out, is if your cooler uses its own custom backplate as it won't be possible to replace it on Socket AM5.
