AMD Socket Types are physical CPU receptacles found on motherboards that are designed to accommodate and properly mount AMD–manufactured CPUs. These sockets come in several different varieties, including AM2, AM3, AM3+, FM2, FM2+, and TR4. Each socket type includes its own set of pins that correspond to the pin layout of a designated processor series, meaning the wrong CPU will not fit into the wrong socket type.
