socketed upgradable platform.
"AMD consistently builds on its industry leading technology by
continuing to offer a diversified product stack which is proven
today with the availability of the AM1 platform with 'socketed' AMD
Sempron and AMD Athlon APUs designed for the mainstream market,"
said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager,
Client Business Unit, AMD. "With quad-core performance and AMD
Radeon™ graphics the AM1 platform is an affordable solution that
provides great flexibility due to an infrastructure built to

builders."

consumers that includes two SATA 6 Gbps ports, two USB 3.0 ports,
eight USB 2.0 ports, PCIe 2.0 lanes for graphic card upgrades, and

performance than its competitors, as well as balanced computing
with DirectX® 11.2 and Windows 8.1 support to mainstream

"The new 'socketed' Sempron and Athlon products from AMD provide
our customers outstanding value and performance at low power that
was previously unavailable for buyers in emerging markets looking
to build systems at home," said Patrick Choy, Director of CPU
Product Management, Newegg. "We're thrilled to see the large number
of motherboard manufacturers supporting the platform using the FS1b
socket and the flexibility it provides with microATX and MiniITX
motherboards for sleek and power-efficient small form factor
