It seems the setup should function on existing systems. Zen 4 Server/Workstation is expected to be compatible with current boards.
Zen 3 will launch on AM4 yet, but it won't stop it from showing up on a fresh platform. The components are split, meaning AMD could potentially create a DDR5 IOD under the right conditions. Align with earlier discussions—this isn't ready for mainstream buyers this year. Even if it comes next year, it's probably not sooner than expected.
But it was a fresh socket, not just a new DDR. So perhaps it was a significant upgrade—maybe the next generation of DDR came out a few years later. That means your build might stay useful for a while longer. I’m not sure yet.
