AMD A8-7680

4C/4T · 3.8 GHz · 65 W

The AMD A8-7680 is a quad-core desktop APU for Socket FM2+, released in October 2018 as a late addition to the platform. It brings the Carrizo design with Excavator cores to FM2+ motherboards with DDR3 memory, and its integrated Radeon R7 graphics use six GCN compute units. Together with the dual-core A6-7480 it gave budget FM2+ builds a final, more efficient upgrade option.
