Does a AM4 processor work with a AM3+ Motherboard?

[CWindow]

Hey, as the title suggests, I'm looking to upgrade my processor to a AM4 ryzen 7. My concern is whether it will work with my old AM3+ motherboard, or whether I should bite the bullet and upgrade both? Any info will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No... Requires 3XX upward chipset and DDR4.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
