AMD FM1 Socket Spotted

[zhrike]

---

AMD's new socket, FM1 has been spotted, the FM1 socket will be the platform for the upcoming "Llano" A-series accelerated processing units (APUs) in both desktop and notebook solutions. AMD will have a proper competitor for Intel's LGA1155/LGA1156-based solutions which rely on the processor's embedded graphics.



AMD have the upper hand as the APU will integrated a quad-core x64-64 processor with a DirectX 11-capable AMD Radeon HD6000 graphics core which should sport 400+ stream processors, a dual-channel DDR3 controller and a PCI-Express 2.0 hub. FM1 is a pin-grid array but the exact pin count is unknown. Llano APUs are expected in May/June of this year.

Maka compete kaha ni sa LGA 1155 ng intel?

@whatswithjeff: base on the pictures you have post. its not yet final. as you can see its just an engineering sample.

FM1 is a pin-grid array but the exact pin count is unknown.

Anyone here willing to count the pinholes based on the picture??

@blizzaga4: its a free count pins. tuga2x sila ug reveal dili pod accurate. naay pakapin bobot ang maka tag.an. hehehe

@Explode
nindot unta ni icontest sa AMD, "Winner gets an FM1 mobo for guessing the FM1 pin count!!"

[eXpLoDe]

@blizzaga4: naa pa. "With Free AMD Engineering Sample Processor S (Solo/Single) Series!!".

@explode

wa na explode na akong utok ana!!!!!!!!

from other forums..

It has only 905 pins.

31H x 31W - [5H x 7W (center cutout)] - 13 (corners + corner key) -[4 x 2 (center keys)] = 905
