Back in June we reported that the hybrid processor Richland will accompany chipsets (FCH), code-named Bolton . The controller Bolton D4 is an improved version of the current A85X, but with native support for processors Trinity successors . AMD also simplified the chipset version, without support for four ports USB 3.0. FCH is called Bolton D3 and will be used in entry-level motherboards.
Both chipsets support the engineering infrastructure Socket FM2 +, but it is unclear whether Ricland presented a APU with appropriate structural performance, but keep compatibility with Socket FM2. In any case, AMD promises to maintain compatibility with the next generation APU Socket FM2.
Richland will be released in the second quarter next year. For their production AMD will use 28 nm technology.
