A company is upgrading their design department's computers and needs to replace the existing CPUs with the latest AMD processors for improved rendering performance. Which motherboard CPU socket should the technician look for to be compatible with the latest Ryzen series?
Socket AM4 is the correct answer because it is compatible with the latest AMD Ryzen series processors. Making sure the motherboard has the correct socket type is essential to ensure compatibility with the specific model of CPU being installed. Socket types like TR4, FM2+, and LGA 1151 are incompatible with the AMD Ryzen series as TR4 is used for the AMD Threadripper series, FM2+ was designed for older AMD APUs, and LGA 1151 is for Intel's 6th and 7th generation CPUs.
