AMD to use Socket FM1 for desktop Llano

FUD Zilla claims AMD's Lynx-based Llano desktop processors will use the new Socket FM1. This 32nm chip is expected by the end of the year.
The new socket interconnects with Hudson series of chipsets and some of them will come with USB 3.0, although most of them are USB 2.0 and have support for SATA 6Gbps.

Llano is, as we said before, a dual or quad core with support for DDR3 1600, DirectX 11 GPU most likely from Radeon HD 5000 generation. The graphics juice should be close to HD 5350 series or anything in the range of slower discrete graphic solutions, but with a good chance of being faster than previous, AMD 880G integrated chipset graphics.
