AMD 28nm Richland APU to use FM2 socket

Trinity uses FM2 socket for all A10, A8, A6 and A4 parts and the fact that it will be future proof and able to accommodate next generation APUs sounds like great news.

The top SKU is a quad core A10 xxxx with a K suffix at the end, and as you probably know “K” stands for unlocked multiplier, which in turn stands for overclockability. It’s still too early for the official number and the specification.

According to our sources the new Richland APU comes with 4MB cache and its new Radeon graphics feature 384 cores, the same number that we’ve seen with high-end Trinity parts, but they have underlined that the number or cores is not equivalent to the previous generation due a new graphics architecture which provides a performance boost.
