The socket is very similar to FM1, based on a 31 × 31 grid of pins with a 5 × 7 central void, three pins missing from each corner, and a few additional key pins missing. Compared to Socket FM1, two key pins were moved, and one more is removed, leaving 904 pins.
For available chipsets consult Fusion controller hubs (FCH).
Steamroller-based "Kaveri" APUs are not supported, see Socket FM2+ (FM2r2) and Socket FP3 (BGA-???).
