The AM3 socket has 941 pin contacts in a different layout [3] while AM2+ processors have 940 pins. Tom's Hardware removed the two obstructing key pins from an AM2+ Phenom processor in order to fit it into an AM3 socket.

Socket AM3 (also known as Socket 941) is a socket for installing AMD processors. The AM3 socket was introduced in February 2009 and replaced the previous generation AM2+ socket. The main changes in the architecture of this connector include support for DDR3 SDRAM memory and a faster HyperTransport bus.

Socket AM3 是 AMD 推出的 CPU插座 和處理器管腳陣列，於2009年2月9日發表，取代上一代的 Socket AM2+。 而採用AM3的CPU有 Phenom II 、 Athlon II 、 Sempron 100系列 以及 Opteron 1380系列。 Socket AM3為插針陣列封裝， 主機板 插座有941個接腳，CPU上則只有938支針腳。 AM3處理器的管腳直徑是0.45毫米，針腳最小間距為1.27毫米，31行×31列，呈正方形。 [3] 與Socket AM2/AM2+相比，最大區別是AM3正式支援DDR3 SDRAM，另外還支援 …

2013年10月31日 · Socket AM3+ is a modified version of AM3 designed for the new “Bulldozer” processors. It has 938 pins, and also supports processors made for AM3 sockets. The table below shows the essential...

2022年11月30日 · The AM3+ socket has 941 pin contacts, and is designed to support the AMD Bulldozer and Piledriver microarchitectures. These CPUs have more cores and higher power requirements than their predecessors, and the AM3+ socket is designed to handle these increased demands.

AM3的全称是Socket AM3，它是一个CPU接口标准。 所有的AMD桌面级45纳米处理器均采用了新的Socket-AM3插座，它有938针的物理引脚，这也就意味着AM3的CPU可以与旧有Socket-AM2+插座甚至是更早的Socket-AM2插座在物理上是兼容的，因为后两者的物理引脚数均为940针，事实上Socket-AM3处理器也完全能够直接工作在Socket-AM2+主板上（BIOS 支持），不过940针的Socket-AM2+处理器将不能在938针的Socket-AM3主板上使用。 Socket-AM3处理器只能够支 …

Socket AM3+ （又稱Socket AM3b）是 AMD 推出的CPU插座，於2011年發布，取代上一代 Socket AM3 並支持AMD新一代32納米處理器 AMD FX （代號"Zambezi"）。 AM3+接口的推土機處理器將可以被安裝到AM3接口的主機板上，在針腳上，AM3+是沒有變化的，一樣會是938針。 AM3+支援HyperTransport 3.1，主機板插座有942個接口，僅比Socket AM3多一個接口，接口排布基本與Socket AM3一致。 CPU有938支針腳。

am3+是938针脚的，插针式的。 am3+的CPU如果主板没有特别说明是不能接到其它像AM2、AM2+接口的主板上的，下面介绍AMD CPU安装的步骤： 打开CPU 底座的拉杆，如图；

2022年11月30日 · The socket has 938 pins and is compatible with a variety of motherboards that support the AM3 socket. It was first released in 2009 and was used in a number of desktop and laptop computers.

The AM3+ Socket has larger pin socket diameter of 0.51 mm compared to 0.45 mm with the AM3 Socket. There is a faster serial link of 3400 kHz from the CPU to the power controller, compared to 400 kHz. The AM3+ Socket offers improved power regulation and power quality specifications, including an increased maximum current support of 145 A versus ...
