AMD's Terminology?

[Exceptional OCD]

I know quite a lot about Intel's terminology of their i5, i7 processors, their Z97, X99 chipsets but I don't know a single thing about AMD's terminology.

AMD has some complex or outdated terminology which is confusing with their streamline of numbers and letters.

 

What is the AMD terminology of:

1) i3, i5 and i7

2) H97, Z97, X99

3) LGA 1150, LGA 2011

3) LGA 1150, LGA 2011

1) FX4,FX6,FX8 (all a full generation behind Haswell, no new AMD CPUs in a while)

2)AMD760,AMD970,AMD990fx

3)FM2,AM2,AM3(+)

[WereCat]

1.) FX 4000, FX 6000, FX 8000

2.) 760G, 785G, SB 950, 970, 990X, 990FX

3.) AM3+

 

or

 

1.) A4, A6, A8, A10

2.) A55, A58, A68H, A78, A88X

3.) FM2+

1) They have their A8/10 CPU's (which are APU's), Their FX CPU's (which span across everything and have 4-8 cores) and some Athlon and Phenom stuff too, which goes somewhere inbetween.

2) I only know about 970 and 990X, 990X being the great overclocking boards. Can't really compare them, but those are the chipsets you could look at.

3) FM2+, AM3, AM3+ (and possibly AM4 next year). It's their sockets.

FM2+ is for the A8/10 I mentioned earlier, AM3 for the Athlon and Phenom CPU's (pretty much a dead socket now) and AM3+, which is for the FX CPU's and fits the AM3 CPU's too (kinda dead-ish too now)

 

Hope this helped you

Be sure to ask more if you need more help.

AMD has currently the FX series, the A Series and the Athlon Series. Both FX and Athlon series are CPUs, the A Series are APUs.

Currently they have the AM3+, AM1, FM2 and FM2+ sockets. 

As for motherboards, there are so many chipsets that I can't even start to enumerate. That's partly because their sockets last for hundreds of years.

I heard there will only be FM3+
