Everything about Socket FM2+

CPU socket for AMD CPUs

Socket FM2+ is a zero insertion force CPU socket designed by AMD for their desktop "Kaveri" APUs (Steamroller-based) and Godavari APUs (Steamroller-based) to connect to the motherboard. The FM2+ has a slightly different pin configuration to Socket FM2 with two additional pin sockets. Socket FM2+ APUs are not compatible with Socket FM2 motherboards due to the aforementioned additional pins. However, socket FM2 APUs such as "Richland" and "Trinity" are compatible with the FM2+ socket.ECC DIMMs are supported on Socket FP3 but not supported on the Socket FM2+ package. There are 3 PCI Express cores: one 2 ×16 core and two 5 ×8 cores. There are 8 configurable ports, which can be divided into 2 groups: Gfx-group: contains 2 ×8 ports. Each port can be limited to lower link widths for applications that require fewer lanes. Additionally, the two ports can be combined to create a single ×16 link. GPP-group: contains 1 ×4 UMI and 5 General Purpose Ports (GPP). Wikipedia →
