I have a deep fear about how messy AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs will be with too much thermal paste

AMD has got a big end of year ahead of it. Its third take on its RDNA architecture is due before the end of the year and we’re expecting Zen 4 to launch at around the same time.

Nothing exactly new here, but it’s a lovely image.

We know for instance that it’s an LGA socket design similar, which should be familiar to anyone that has built an Intel system since it moved over to LGA 775. That means there are no pins on the chip itself, but rather contact pads, with the pins being in the motherboard socket.
