- tmzt 10y agoI was trying to figure out the roadmap, pricing, and feature sets for their APUs. I gave up. I'm looking for a low-end APU with a fair amount of system ram (not dedicated vram) for use as a graphics coproccessor on a relatively slow bus. I'm finding high end CPUs with integrated graphics, and low-end CPU only chips. The only thing close to what I'm looking for is on an older process.
- paulmd 10y agoI think you might be looking for Socket AM1, like the Athlon 5350. If you need ECC, get the Asus AM1M-A. None of the boards have more than 2 RAM slots though. If you have a Microcenter nearby, you can get a $40 discount on an AM1 bundle deal. The motherboard and CPU end up being about $40 total. It makes a decent little Unix server. The Intel J1800/J1900/J2900 boards are pretty cheap too but no ECC. Also, Asrock just announced its Goldmont-based J4205 board.
- tmzt 10y agoThanks, it's for an embedded development project so the low total price is very helpful.
- paulmd 10y agoMost APUs support it. Many motherboard manufacturers choose not to expose this capability and a few sockets don't even expose it. Kabini supports it. Construction cores support it. FM2+ does not, but the mobile socket version FP3 does.
