yep . P4 fiber with metal. I send ryzen pro CPUs in all the time as P4 fiber with metal, you can thank covid era supply chain protection for that. Believe it or not the ryzen G line used by OEMs have a piece of code written into the CPU/motherboard buy the OEM, after the code is written into the CPU a set of write fuses inside the CPU is blown tying the CPU it to that OEM and you can't use them in different OEM branded motherboards. Not a big deal but a lot of the time that code goes haywire and bricks the CPU.
