AMD FM1/2/2+ Quiet CPU Coolers

The FM1 socket has been available since 2011 and is dedicated for AMD’s APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). AMD has managed to integrate GPU functions into the CPU, giving it excellent all round performance. The marketing name for these new APUs is AMD Fusion. The FM2 socket is very similar to FM1 therefore you will find that if a CPU cooler fits FM1 it will also fit FM2, and the same goes for FM2+.

As always, if you are still unsure which CPU cooler is right for you, please read our article “How do I choose a CPU cooler?” and remember to check the TDP of your CPU to aid identifying a suitable cooler.

Socket FM1

The table below provides information about each cooler to help you quickly identify the most suitable product for your needs. Each column can be sorted, making it easy to determine a cooler of a certain height or a specific noise level. Please note, AIO water coolers are not shown on this table due to their unique characteristics.

  • FM2+ CPU: FM-Series Sockets (FM1, FM2 & FM2+) Cooler & Chips

By Helen | Follow |
Last Updated

Derived from AMD FM2+ CPU, this article describes related contents about socket FM2+, FM2 and FM1, together with their available chipsets and coolers. To dig further, the MiniTool partition manager site can help.

FM2+ CPU Overview

FM2+ CPU refers to central processing units (CPUs) that are compatible with AMD FM2+ Socket.

Socket FM2+, also known as FM2b or FM2r2, is a type of CPU socket designed by CPU manufacturer AMD for its desktop “Kaveri” APUs (Accelerated Processing Unit) and Godavari APUs (both are Steamroller-based) for connecting the motherboard. This kind of mainboard can also be called an FM2+ motherboard.

There are three PCIe cores on Socket FM2+, two 5 x8 cores and one 2 x16 cores. There are also eight configurable ports that can be sorted into two groups as below:

  • GPP group – Includes 5 General Purpose Ports (GPP) and 1 x4 UMI (Unified Media Interface).
  • Gfx group – Includes 2 x8 slots with each port can be limited to lower link widths for programs requiring fewer lanes. Also, the 2 slots can be combined into one X16 link.

All those PCI-E links can support PCIe 2. x data rate. Moreover, the Gfx group links can support the PCI-e 3.x data rate.

FM2 vs FM2+

Compared with its predecessor FM2, FM2+ has 906 pin contacts and its 2 pins more. Therefore, FM2+ APUs (“Kaveri”) aren’t compatible with Socket FM2 motherboards. Yet, FM2 processors/APUs like “Trinity” and “Richland” are compatible with the FM2+ socket.

What Is Socket FM1?

FM1 Socket, launched in July 2011, is a kind of processor socket or slot for a desktop motherboard using AMD early A-series APUs (“Llano”) and Llano-derived Athlon II processors. It is directly replaced by Socket FM2.

About FM2 Socket

FM2 Socket CPU

Socket FM2, released on Sep. 27, 2012, is a CPU slot to connect AMD Trinity and Richland APUs as well as Athlon X2 & Athlon X4 to the motherboard. Motherboards that feature at the time new FM2 CPU socket also adopt AMD’S new A85X chipset.

FM2 Socket is very similar to Socket FM1; they are both based on a 31×31 grid of pins with a 5×7 central void, 3 pins missing from 4 corners and a few other key pins missing. Compared with the FM1 socket, 2 key pins were moved and 1 more is removed, leaving the final 904 pins.

The heatsinks for these AMD’s sockets, including socket FM2, socket AM2, socket AM2+, socket AM3 and socket AM3+, are the same. The four holes for fastening the heat sink to the motherboard are placed in a rectangle with lateral lengths of 48×96 mm. So, cooling solutions for those sockets can be interchangeable.

Available Chipsets for FM-series Sockets

Generally, the chipsets that are compatible with FM-series sockets are Fusion Controller Hubs (FCHs). Before 2017, from 2011 to 2016, only APUs use FCHs. In 2017, AMD implements FCHs into their products alongside the launch of the Zen architecture. Those products are called FCHs chipsets and they include the below models:

AMD processors for the FM1 platform

Historical study of the company’s first integrated platform

Methodology for testing computer systems
of the 2016 model

As experience shows, articles devoted to testing «old» (by the standards of the computer market) systems are usually no less popular than reviews of «hot» new products. And no wonder: even when their owners are no longer satisfied with the current level of performance, it is still interesting to compare it with the demonstrated new computers — at least in order to understand what is worth switching to (and whether it is worth it). Of course, it is impossible to test absolutely everything released by manufacturers in at least the last five years, but some iconic processors are quite. Especially when they are interesting in themselves as stages in the development of the industry or allow us to draw conclusions about some other products. In particular, that is why we decided (since the opportunity arose) to repeat one test of the year before last, but using modern software. Yes, yes, we will again talk about the AMD FM1 platform.

Why return to it? First, despite its short life, it was, one might say, a turning point in the development of the market: this is the first platform whose integrated graphics were not implemented on the principle of «what was», but really suitable for (albeit limited) gaming or «non-graphic computing». In 2011, this was fresh and relevant — we recall that the then Intel proposals supported technologies already existing in discrete GPUs only very limitedly. AMD, on the other hand, has implemented full functionality and performance at the level of junior discrete graphics cards of the same year, and not some distant past. Actually, even later, performance competition continued to remain only intra-company — especially if we consider the budget segment, in which FM1 could fully replace only FM2, and later FM2 +, but not the updated LGA1155 or LGA1150. Last year, however, processors with a more powerful GPU were released for the latter than in any AMD APUs, but they are significantly more expensive. And what about the budget processors for the latest LGA1151? Something is possible, but for this it is desirable to compare the solutions of both companies directly and on an equal footing.

The processor component of the first AMD APUs is also interesting in its own way, albeit archaic: it goes back to the 2009 Athlon II. Despite their venerable age, such processors are still used by many, so they are also worth testing. But it’s not really necessary to do so. As earlier tests showed, the performance of the A4-3400 roughly corresponds to the younger Athlon II X2 215/220, while the analog of the A8-3870K is the older processors on the same chip, already sold under the Phenom II X4 840/850 brand. Moreover, the correspondence in this case is almost complete: the same number of cores similar in microarchitecture (and, accordingly, in supported technologies) allows us to expect that even when the software changes, the processors will still behave in a similar way. So, having tested the two mentioned processors for FM1, we will get an estimate of the performance range of budget processors for AM3. And accurate enough. And Intel processors for the LGA775 platform also fall into the same range — somewhere from Pentium E5x00 to Core 2 Quad Q9500. Here the comparison, of course, is already more rough, but also worthy of attention.

In general, no matter how you look at it, it’s worth spending some time on the very first generation of AMD APUs. Today we will deal with this.

Test methodology

The methodology is described in detail in a separate article. Here we briefly recall that it is based on the following four pillars:

  • iXBT.com performance measurement method based on real applications of the 2016 sample
  • Power consumption measurement method when testing processors
  • Method for monitoring power, temperature and processor load during testing
  • 2016 iXBT.com Game Performance Measurement Method

And the detailed results of all tests are available as a complete table of results (in Microsoft Excel 97-2003 format). Directly in the articles, we use already processed data. In particular, this applies to application tests, where everything is normalized relative to the reference system (as last year, a laptop based on Core i5-3317U with 4 GB of memory and a 128 GB SSD) and grouped by the areas of application of the computer.

iXBT Application Benchmark 2016

The A8-3870K’s four «full-weight» cores still allow it to compete with Intel’s entry-level dual-core processors in these programs, but they are already slower than a pair of dual-threaded modules of current FM2+ solutions. The successes of the rest of the subjects, of course, are much more modest. And the most noteworthy is that the A4-3400 is already about twice as slow as the Celeron G3900. What’s wrong here? Both processors are banal dual-core models without any SMT technologies and operate at almost the same frequency, but they differ by half. So just counting the cores says nothing about performance even in a multi-threaded environment: the level of old dual-core devices (recall that the A4-3400 is also comparable to Athlon II X2 or Celeron/Pentium for LGA775) is about half that of modern ones. But we haven’t taken the oldest model yet — the first representatives of this class (such as Athlon 64 X2 or Pentium D) are even slower. And the first quad-core processors only roughly correspond to modern dual-core ones, which also gives food for thought.

Especially in those conditions when they fail to “turn around in full force” — as in Photoshop, for example. Note that in this group of applications, generally speaking, modern Celeron and Pentium do not shine for many reasons. But they “do not shine” against the background of peers, and not at all representatives of outdated architectures.

Single-threaded (mostly) application, where new AMD microarchitectures don’t look good either. The old ones are even more convincing to some extent — the 3870K almost caught up with the 7650K, despite the significantly lower clock frequency. But this has long been a struggle in the «basement», so you can not pay much attention to it: it works — and okay.

Audition is a little more loyal to multi-core processors, although in principle it doesn’t change anything — only the A4-3400 looks even worse than in the previous case.

But in a simple multi-threaded integer, the old A6 and A8 are still quite good — despite their very advanced age, they can somehow compete with budget processors. But if there are only two cores (as in all A4s) or three low-frequency ones (a feature of the A6-3500), nothing good comes of it. As expected.

Due to the lack of a shared cache memory, «athlon-shaped» and «during life» did not shine in such tasks, but, nevertheless, older models, as we see, can now compete at least with Celeron. The younger ones (which do not have a head start in terms of the number of cores, which affects the packing time) behave worse, but it cannot be said that it is completely terrible.

Already within the framework of AM3, the company provided its chipsets with support for the SATA interface, which is also preserved in the FM1 disk controllers, so in principle, processors for the latest platform can normally «load» a fast solid-state drive with work, almost as good as modern devices. In more complex scenarios, nuances are possible, but from the point of view of normal domestic use, there are no problems.

As we have already noted, this program is not very good at «virtual multithreading» technologies, which played a bad joke on AMD’s new A8: it turned out to be almost indistinguishable from the old one. However, the computing capabilities of either one or the other, and even more so of junior processors for FM1, are generally low from the point of view of today, so “serious work” is not their forte. But they get the job done. Slowly but surely.

So, what do we have in the bottom line? Even the A8-3870K is generally comparable only to modern Celerons. Of course, there are cases when it looks more or less good against the background of the latter, thanks to the presence of four cores, but it also happens that cannot be used in the amount of , but everything is clear with the quality. The funnier thing here, however, is not this, but the fact that AMD’s progress in improving integrated platforms in general turned out to be almost worse than that of Intel, although the latter company is most often criticized. A8-7650K, of course, is not the fastest processor in the family, but even from Athlon X4 880K with a discrete graphics card and 16 GB of memory, we got only 129.5 integral points — already the A8-3870K gave out only 20% less. And this is not a top segment at all — even initially, the processors were positioned approximately as competitors to the Core i3. The latter, we recall, grew up one and a half times, so they left to fight on other fronts. Mostly with themselves or with Intel processors of a higher class, but of earlier release years. But the «APU» remained almost at the same level in terms of processor performance, despite the change in architecture and other improvements. But perhaps progress has been more noticeable in other areas?

Power Consumption and Energy Efficiency

Actually, it is clearly visible — for the sake of which everything was started: the faster A8-7650K consumes energy much more economically than the A8-3870K. Moreover, we note that the technical processes are in principle comparable: the processors for FM1 were the first to use the 32 nm process technology, and they managed to improve it only by one step. Moreover, it is small: Intel immediately switched from 32 to 22, and now to 14 nm, and AMD has mastered only the transition from 32 to 28 nm. Therefore, now there is no direct competition between companies. But do not forget that AMD also managed to somewhat limit the needs of their devices — it used to be even worse.

True, of course, against the background of what Intel has achieved, all successes are too lost. But they did something — so, well done. The first «APUs» were not only slow, but also very inefficient. For comparison, the Core i3-2120, even in a system with a discrete graphics card (which, as we know, only spoils the results), had an “energy efficiency” score of 2.15 points, i.e. more than one and a half times higher than that of “peers » family A8. But so far, we have practically not touched on graphics, which was very weak in the early Intel processors, and AMD integrated platforms were purchased mainly for the sake of it. Let’s see what’s good for now.

iXBT Game Benchmark 2016

Usually, we present in the articles the results of only those games that at least one of the participants copes with at least one resolution. In this case, we decided to move away from this practice, since we initially have a notorious favorite in the form of the A8-7650K, to which all the rest are not competitors. Therefore, we will consider in detail only those games that the A8-3870K can somehow cope with — there are not so few of them.

For example, «tanks», which even not the newest Intel processors cope with in the minimum settings mode. When using the same video cards, they also turn out to be winners — because of the high «single-threaded» performance. But the power of integrated graphics is still different, which leaves its mark. In particular, in FHD mode, even the old A8-3870K easily beats all Intel processors with GT1 GPUs. Moreover, even the low-frequency A6-3500 under the same conditions outperforms the most modern Celeron, and, moreover, the Pentium for LGA1150. A4-3400 cannot accomplish such «feats», but you can play on it. And even try to do it in the «full» resolution mode — peers from Intel were not capable of this.

Things are much worse with «boats», however, in general, older models for FM1 cope with them better than modern Celerons, not to mention the «previous» Pentiums. The latter are completely inferior to the younger A6. Pentium G45x0 is faster, of course, and how many years newer. In general, only the A4-3400 unambiguously lost its position, but no one doubted this — even “during its lifetime” it belonged to the budget segment itself.

The new Celerons and the slightly older Pentiums in this, to put it mildly, not new game, if they can compete with anyone, only with the A4-3400. And in order to somehow catch up with the A8-3870K, representatives of the G45x0 family are already needed. So far this is how it is. What fades a little except perhaps against the background of the indicators of the new A8, but new — after all, we are studying five-year-old processors (if anyone has forgotten).

The A8-3870K nominally coped with the game in HD resolution — the Pentium G4500T did the same. It is clear that all the same, will not be enough , but more — for processors for FM2 +, for example. And the Pentium G3260, announced at the beginning of 2015, looks very funny, but has not managed to catch up with the youngest A6 of 2011 in any way 🙂

some years. AMD also did not stand still, after all, so the new A8 went far ahead. Intel processors too — but in comparison with their own predecessors in the main.

For the above reasons, we are most interested in two processors, but we will test three (since there are already), adding the A6-3500 to the list of test subjects. Also interesting in its own way, since it occupied a special position in the model line: a three-core (the only one of all) with a good (if not the best) GPU, TDP 65 W and massively available (unlike exotic quad-cores for this platform with such a heat pack). And again, in terms of gaming performance, is at least some 9We need 0191 A6, but there are no others.

First of all, we will compare this trio with the A8-7650K: this is a much more modern and serious solution from the company, but the slowest of the newer generations of processors we tested. Over time, we plan, if possible, to test cheaper offers for FM2 + (fortunately, this platform still retains good positions in this segment), but so far there are none — we will limit ourselves to an assessment from above: the old A8 versus the new one.

Already a familiar picture: the Celeron G39x0 lags behind even the younger old A6, the Pentium G32x0 still loses to the no less ancient A4, the G4500T struggles with all this, at the very least A8-7650K rises menacingly 🙂

Is it possible, in general, to consider FM1 a gaming platform as of today? No, of course not. Actually, even FM2+ is only conditionally suitable for this role — we have always adhered and continue to adhere to the opinion that if games are one of the intended purposes when purchasing a computer, a discrete video card has no alternative. But you can play some games (if lock ) play on IGP too. From the point of view of today’s article, the most important thing is that to this day this five-year-old platform, in general, is not inferior to modern low-end Intel solutions. More precisely, Pentium and Core i3 with HDG 530 GPU are no worse than the older A8 for FM1, but all models up to HDG 510 inclusive (and the old “numberless ones”) at best reach the level of the younger A6. And then A4. That is, the backlog at one time was very good, which is not surprising — after all, even the A4-3400 has a built-in full analog of the Radeon HD 6450, which is still de facto sold under the name Radeon R5 230. The built-in Radeon 6550D in older A8s is closer to video cards of a slightly different level — about the Radeon HD 5570. In general, in those years such discrete video cards were in demand, but here is an integrated solution. Which looks pale against the background of the new proposals of AMD itself, but after all, how many years have passed. And Intel processors are reaching this level only now, i.e., almost five years after the appearance of the FM1 platform, or about six years, if you count from the company’s first GPUs integrated «under the cover» of the processor (albeit on a separate chip).

Total

The first thing that should be noted in the conclusions is that we did not encounter any problems during testing, despite using the latest version of Windows and a modern set of programs. Yes, of course, video drivers for old «APUs» are already available only through Windows Update, but they are installed, and everything works fine — as in the case of Intel’s Ivy Bridge (but with Sandy Bridge of the same 2011 as FM1, already there are some rough edges).

And in terms of hardware configuration, everything is also simple: completely standard (so far) DDR3 memory, conventional drives with SATA600 interface, built-in USB 3.0 support, and PCI and PCIe buses are used for expansion cards — there have been no significant changes on the market . The latter, by the way, allows you to «spur» the gaming performance a little if necessary, simply by adding a discrete graphics card. Of course, it makes no sense to set the expensive one, since the performance of solutions for this platform is still low — the expensive one will not be fully used.

To be fair, if we had tried this experiment in 2011, but with the 2006 system, we would have basically succeeded, too. Problems could arise with memory (due to the transition from DDR2 to DDR3 that occurred at the end of the 2000s), but not with other peripherals. But with a computer of 2001 in 2006, everything would be very difficult … AGP for video cards, Parallel ATA for drives, already exotic SDRAM or RDRAM memory — why go far: in 2006, we used the x64 version of Windows for testing XP (and after all, Vista came out at the end of the year), and the first processors suitable for its operation appeared only in 2003. In general, just about 2005-2006. processes in the market were quite turbulent. After — one and a half changes in the type of memory (transition from DDR2 to DDR3 and the ongoing process of implementing DDR4), and leapfrog of processor sockets. Other interfaces have evolved already evolutionarily and with the preservation of compatibility. The software more or less stabilized in its requests, which grew only quantitatively (which, taking into account the compatibility of interfaces, was solved), but not qualitatively. And in some areas — no quantitative changes were observed: the computer on which it was possible to install and comfortably use Vista does not cope well with the «top ten».

In general, it is not surprising that systems from five or even ten years ago are still in operation. Interestingly, the performance of processors from 2006 to 2011 grew faster than from 2011 to 2016, so the point, in general, is far from it (despite crying and groans about this in various forums and others like them). It is clear that all those processors are already either slow or very slow — a lot depends on the year. In particular, if we return to our today’s heroine, the AMD FM1 platform, then in 2006 it would have been a top one (this is, of course, a hypothetical comparison, but according to earlier tests, processors for FM1 just correspond to the level of the best Core 2 Duo / Quad, and their video part is worthy of comparison with good discrete video cards of that time), in 2011 it was budgetary and already only conditionally gaming, but today . .. you saw it yourself 🙂 However, all investments in themselves such systems have long been beaten off, so what if the performance «does not press» — then why fix something that didn’t break ? If something really breaks and / or ceases to suit for other reasons, then when buying a new computer, you can no longer worry about the choice. As you can see, even the integrated graphics of Intel processors have already pulled up to this level, and the new AMD “APUs” are even faster. In terms of processor performance, both of them also “grew up” — albeit to varying degrees, but still. Thus, whatever you buy to replace the old system with FM1 will be at least as good, but at the same time cheaper. And if you are not limited to the cheapest offers, then definitely better. In general, you can not think about what was, but just buy what you need — as if there was no computer at all. Good news, in general.

The Fusion microarchitecture processor family along with Socket FM1 was introduced by AMD in 2011. These are the first so-called hybrid CPUs in the history of Advanced Micro Devices, combining the computing and graphics (GPU) cores. Models with an integrated GPU do not require a separate video card, and the image output in this case occurs through the VGA connector located on the motherboard. In 2012, it was replaced by AMD Socket FM2.

History of the Socket FM1 platform

In 2006, Advanced Micro Devices acquired the then-independent GPU manufacturer, ATI Technologies, a Canadian company. For some time after the acquisition, AMD allows the new asset to exist autonomously, to create and manufacture GPUs under the same brand. But in 2010, everything changes: the ATI logo disappears and the new Canadian video cards are called AMD Radeon. Moreover, the new owner of the GPU developer is placing an order to create a video chip that could be integrated into the CPU. The order was successfully executed and a year later the family of AMD Fusion processors was born, which received an individual socket FM1 (PGA 905).
Under the cover of the new CPUs, two crystals were placed on a single textolite substrate at once — computing and graphics, such processors were called «hybrid» (or APU). After moving the GPU to the chip, the FM1 platform no longer needed to place the integrated graphics core on the motherboard, which greatly simplified the component structure. The processors themselves, which received the abbreviation Llano, were equipped with fairly powerful Radeon HD 6 ** 0D GPUs. This allowed you to run games without a discrete graphics card. The only requirement for the high-quality work of the graphics core of hybrid CPUs was the availability of fast RAM. This was due to the fact that the GPU took the required amount of video memory from RAM, and the speed of the entire graphics subsystem depends on the throughput of the latter. Understanding this, AMD introduced for all FM1 processors support for a very fast RAM at that time — DDR3 1600-1800 MHz.
The success of AMD Fusion APUs played an important role in the fate of the company — the manufacturer: the developments made it possible to create more powerful APUs, which became the basis for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. In addition, subsequent families of CPUs with integrated graphics released for sockets FM2 and FM2 + provided AMD with a long-term profit influx at a time when the company was on the verge of ruin (2014-2016).

Compare AMD FM1 and FM2 sockets

The socket, as you know, is a socket on the motherboard for installing the central processor. Sockets vary in form factor, number of pins, and attachment type. The use of sockets, in principle, is intended to facilitate system upgrades by simply changing the processor. However, the problem is that the release of almost every new processor from AMD or Intel is associated with a transition to a new platform, that is, with the advent of a new socket.

This is clearly seen, in particular, on the example of the latest sockets FM1 and FM2, designed to connect powerful AMD hybrid processors. The FM1 platform was developed for Llano processors, which were released not so long ago — in mid-2011. However, when developing processors of the new Komodo and Trinity family, AMD decided to abandon the use of the FM1 socket in favor of the new FM2 platform. In this short article, we will try to figure out what this threatens users with and whether there are significant design differences between the FM1 and FM2 socket.

FM1 and FM2 platforms

The FM1 socket is a 905-pin processor socket. It was developed specifically for AMD Fusion APUs. First of all, we are talking about Liano hybrid processors, which, due to the presence of an integrated graphics core, required not only a new design. AMD’s Liano processors were introduced in dual or quad-core variants with support for Direct X 11 GPUs and DDR3 1600 RAM. All motherboards that came out with a Socket FM1 socket for installing Liano processors adopted the UEFI system instead of the traditional BIOS. In the desktop segment, Liano processors and, accordingly, the FM1 platform debuted on June 30, 2011.

It seemed that the next generation of AMD APUs would also be in Socket FM1. However, the appearance of AMD Llano processors on the market was ambiguously assessed by computer enthusiasts and overclockers, for whom, in fact, the new product was designed. Although the powerful integrated graphics core provided a good level of performance, comparable to the work of junior discrete video cards, however, the Liano processors did not bring the expected increase in frequency potential. And if AMD Llano solutions were quite competitive in the mobile segment, their popularity turned out to be low in desktop systems.

AMD has decided to bet on a new generation of Trinity APUs with more powerful graphics and computing cores. Building a faster desktop processor required abandoning the existing FM1 platform. This is how the FM2 socket appeared, which structurally differs from FM1 in a slightly different arrangement of contacts.

AMD’s new Trinity processors are based on the improved Piledriver architecture and feature powerful integrated graphics. They have a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller with support for operation in modes up to DDR3 1866. One of the main differences between Trinity chips and their predecessor Liano processors is higher clock speeds. If Liano processors managed to get close to the 3 GHz mark, then the older Trinity models can already be overclocked to the mark of 3.8 GHz — 4.2 GHz.

Despite the fact that the older Trinity models have slightly fewer shader units than Llano, this is more than offset by the use of VLIW4 multiprocessor units, acceleration of the tessellation processing unit and a higher clock frequency. The integrated graphics core Trinity has full support for DirectX 11 with ShaderModel 5.0, OpenCL 1.1 and DirectCompute 11. Solutions based on the FM1 socket, by the way, did not provide the ability to use two graphics adapters in the system at once. The new FM2 platform with Trinity processors is aimed at a wide range of users who are interested in building fairly powerful multimedia desktop PCs.

Differences and compatibility between FM1 and FM2 sockets

In general, the FM2 socket is a logical continuation of the FM1 platform, so the differences between the two sockets were not too significant. On closer examination, you can see that even in appearance, the FM2 socket has not undergone radical changes compared to the previous platform. However, these changes still exist. Although the pin layout of both sockets looks similar, the FM2 is missing one of the pins in the center. Thus, if the processor socket FM1 had 905 contacts, the new platform has only 904.

In addition, the so-called «keys», that is, areas without contacts, for Llano and Trinity processors are located in different places on the substrate. Unfortunately, a different location of the «keys» will not even allow you to install the AMDTrinity processor in the old FM1 socket. Some other subtle changes to the FM2 socket have to do with power delivery.

AMD representatives have for a long time given rather evasive answers to the question of whether the FM1 and FM2 platforms will eventually be compatible. This was done, probably, in order not to indirectly reduce the demand for processors with socket FM1. But today it is already known that the new AMD hybrid processors have neither forward nor backward compatibility with the FM1 platform.

This means that desktop users with AMD Liano processors will need to purchase socket FM2 motherboards to upgrade to the latest Trinity processors. This incompatibility is understandable, because the new AMD processors are based on a completely different architecture, which required a transition to other power subsystems. This circumstance forced AMD to switch to the new Socket FM2 platform. However, owners of desktop PCs with the FM1 platform are unlikely to be satisfied with this decision.

The Future of FM1 and FM2 Sockets

AMD is renowned not only for its performance and cost-effectiveness, but also for its commitment to maintaining the same design across multiple generations of its processors. This provided users with the ability to easily and quickly upgrade their PC by purchasing and installing a new processor. Thus, the frequent socket change policy has never been AMD’s hallmark. That is why the rejection of the FM1 platform actually gave rise to a lot of dissatisfaction among a serious part of AMD product supporters.

With the advent of the new FM2 platform, the company’s management de facto recognized Llano hybrid processors and their accompanying motherboards with the FM1 socket as a «dead end» solution. It is clear that the platform of the previous generation with the lack of the possibility of an upgrade is unlikely to have any success with users. It can be assumed that the FM1 socket, which was released, it would seem, not so long ago, will wait for a short life on the market.

As AMD claims, everything will be different with the FM2 platform. This processor socket will not become «single serial», as happened with FM1, but will be focused on supporting several future generations of AMD processors. However, given the not very pleasant history with the release of first-generation APUs, potential consumers may have concerns and questions to AMD about whether the FM2 platform is really serious and for a long time.
