This article is part of the CPU socket series

The Socket FP3 or µBGA-? is a CPU socket for Notebooks that was released in June 2014 by AMD with its mobility APU products codenamed Kaveri.

"Kaveri"-branded ULV products combine Steamroller with Crystal Series (GCN), UVD 4.2 and VCE 2 video acceleration, AMD TrueAudio audio acceleration and AMD Eyefinity-based multi-monitor support of up to two non-DisplayPort- or up to four DisplayPort monitors.

All PCIe links are capable of supporting PCIe 2.x data rates. In addition, the Gfx link is capable of supporting PCIe 3.x data rate. The FP3 package supports two different voltage levels on the VDDP rail. At the 1.05 V nominal setting, the Gfx link can support PCI Express 3.x data rate, while at the 0.95 V setting, the maximum data rate supported by the Gfx link is PCI Express 2.x[1]

Its desktop counterpart is Socket FM2+.
