The
Socket AM1, previously named
FS1b, is a
socket designed by
AMD, launched in April 2014 for desktop
SoCs in the mainstream and value segments. Socket AM1 is intended for a class of CPUs that contain both an integrated
GPU and a chipset, essentially forming a complete
SoC implementation, and as such has pins for display,
PCI Express,
SATA, and other I/O interfaces directly in the socket. AMD's first compatible CPUs, designated as
APUs, are 4 socketable chips in the
Kabini family of the Jaguar microarchitecture, marketed under the Athlon and Sempron names and announced on April 9, 2014.
