AM4, AMD’s Next Generation Unified Socket For APUs & CPUs
AM4 is the very first unified socket by the company. Finally bringing all of its desktop products under one roof. The next generation AM4 socket will be compatibel with both desktop APUs and CPUs. ...
As an AMD user who builds more computers than I need, I've appreciated that AMD has kept the same Motherboard Design (socket part) for the FX CPUs over the years. Now, AMD CPUs and APUs will all use the same Motherboard. Get one good motherboard and it should last for years through multiple CPU and/or APU upgrades. Useful and cost effective, if one likes to upgrade a lot.
