AM4 is a socket from AMD for future Zen-based CPUs.[1][2] It will be the first from AMD to support DDR4-compatible memory as well as achieve unified compatibility between high-end CPUs (currently using Socket AM3+) and AMD's lower-end APUs (on various other sockets).[3][4] As of June 2015, AMD products roadmaps point to AM4 instead of the previously expected FM3 socket.[5] AM4 will also be fully compatible with existing Socket AM2, AM3 and AM3+ coolers.[6]
