Why

✓ Both use AMD Socket AM5 (CPU socket, LGA1718).

Good to know

AMD: all Socket AM5 motherboards (600 and 800 series chipsets) are compatible with all Socket AM5 processors.
AMD: a BIOS update may be required for Ryzen 8000 and 9000 series processors on 600-series (X670E, X670, B650E, B650, A620) boards.
AM5 is DDR5-only; DDR4 memory from an AM4 build cannot be reused.
AM5 processors do not fit AM4 boards.
