AM2+ is a CPU socket designed by AMD for its processors. Introduced in 2006, it supports the Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, and Sempron series of CPUs. The socket allows for dual-core processing, enhancing performance for multitasking and demanding applications. The AM2+ socket is backward compatible with the earlier AM2 socket, meaning that older processors can be used in newer motherboards. Additionally, it supports DDR2 memory, which helps improve data transfer rates and overall system efficiency. This makes AM2+ a versatile choice for users looking to upgrade their systems.
