ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, is pleased to announce that all AM4-compatible ARCTIC coolers will also be compatible with AMD's new AM5 socket. AMD is expected to release the next-generation AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop processors (Zen 4) at the end of 2022. Since all mechanical dimensions remain identical, ARCTIC is able to guarantee compatibility with our coolers on AMD's new processors. Among the compatible ARCTIC coolers are its award-winning Liquid Freezer II series, the fan-favorite Freezer 34 eSports air cooler, and many more.



The complete list of compatible coolers is available here.

This says the socket is not that much bigger than AM4. Good for my LF2.
 
So is this the first confirmation that the cooler mount holes will be the same for AM5 as for AM4? I haven't seen any previous announcement saying the same.
