Socket FM2 is a CPU socket used by AMD's desktop Trinity and Richland APUs to connect to the motherboard as well as Athlon X2 and Athlon X4 processors based on them. FM2 was launched on the 27 September 2012.[1] Motherboards which feature the new FM2 CPU socket also utilize AMD's new A85X chipset.[2]
The socket is very similar to FM1, based on a 31×31 grid of pins with a 5×7 central void, 3 pins missing from each corner, and a few additional key pins missing. Compared to FM1, two key pins were moved, and one more is removed, leaving 904 pins.[3]

Socket FM2+ is a new AMD CPU socket design that supports the Steamroller core Kaveri APUs. The FM2+ has a slightly different pin configuration with two additional pin sockets. Socket FM2+ APUs are not compatible with Socket FM2 motherboards due to the aforementioned additional pins.[4]
