Am4 Pin Layout Info

AMD's Socket AM4 (PGA 1331) was the cornerstone of the Ryzen platform from 2016 until the launch of AM5 in 2022. Unlike modern Intel sockets or the newer AM5, which use Land Grid Array (LGA) where pins are on the motherboard, AM4 uses a Pin Grid Array (PGA) where 1,331 physical pins are located on the underside of the processor.

The "Missing Pin" Phenomenon

If you look at an AM4 CPU, you will notice several empty spaces (holes in the pin grid). This is normal. These are reserved pins (RSVD) or "no connect" (NC) pins. AMD uses the same substrate for EPYC embedded and Ryzen desktop, so some positions simply do nothing on consumer chips. Pin Mapping and Functional Groups : These can
