AMD A8 Series APU - 3850

Here you can see the AMD A8-3850 APU. Pretty much as big as any other Phenom or Athlon II processor you have seen. This one has a Northbridge and a GPU merged into it though. And it makes all the difference.

AMD A series APUs will not fit on Socket AM3/AM3+ though, the processors have a new socket design called FM1. Your Socket AM3/AM3+ CPU cooler however remains compatible with FM1. We fitted the good old OCZ Vendetta cooler without any issues.

Here we can see the laser inscription of the APU. The SKU codename as you can see is AD3850WNZ43GX.
