A mockup of AMD Zen4 “Raphael” AM5 LGA1718 package has been leaked

Not sure what I should think of Raphael

  1. No DDR4 fallback means high memory prices guaranteed
  2. 4 more PCIe lanes is great, but sadly still 4.0. Still not too shabby and those 4 extra lanes certainly come in handy.
  3. The increased TDP doesn't bode well to me. Like, at all. Looks to me like AMD wants to out-Intel Intel in holding the clock speed crown, performance/watt and efficiency be damned.
  4. Why change to LGA?
