We have already talked about processors Summit Ridge Socket FM3, which will be released on 14 nm technology next year, will receive up to eight cores with the architecture Zen, as well as provide support for DDR4 memory .
Swedish colleagues just admitted that more affordable processors Bristol Ridge , which will become the successor Kaveri Refresh under 28-nm technology, will also get the design concept Socket FM3, allowing them to work in some motherboards with Summit Ridge. Recall that the processors Bristol Ridge will have four processing cores architecture Excavator, and graphics subsystem generation GCN will consist of up to 512 stream processors. Naturally, the presence of the connector Socket FM3 in this case and will provide support for DDR4 memory type .
Motherboard with socket Socket FM3 will be equipped with a new set of system logic with the symbol Promontory. As you know, PCI Express controller will move to the CPU, so the south bridge is traditionally responsible for working with hard drives and USB-devices. Earlier it was reported that the next generation of AMD chipsets are developed with the participation of ASMedia, so at some point they can provide native support for USB 3.1, but this is only speculation. Processors Socket FM3 should debut in the third quarter of 2016.
