The Socket AM2 is a processor socket for AMD processors of the Athlon 64 family , and based thereon Sempron processors from Revision F.
With the AM2 socket, AMD introduced the DDR2 memory interface and the AMD-V virtualization technology in its processors.
The processors were first produced in the 90 nm production, and since the beginning of December 2006 also in 65 nm.
Socket AM2 is the successor to Socket 754 and Socket 939 . Socket 754, however, was continued for a while for the Sempron and AMD Turion 64 , while Socket 939 disappeared from the market relatively quickly.
With slight improvements, the AM2 + base succeeded the AM2 in autumn 2007 . Both sockets are mechanically and electrically compatible, which means that processors for socket AM2 + (those based on K10 ) can also be used on mainboards with socket AM2, although in some cases with a reduced range of functions and performance.
