Background on AMD Socket AM3+ CPU

AMD introduced the socket AM3+ line of processors, codenamed Bulldozer, in late 2011. They represent an architectural jump in technology from previous AMD desktop processors, and while many older AM3 motherboards can house an AM3+ processor their full potential can only be realized on a matching AM3+ motherboard.

At launch AMD offered up to eight-core processors for this socket. It is worth noting that these 'cores' are a little different than previous AMD designs, though: each pair of cores is called a 'module', and while the modules are capable of working on two threads at a time but share some resources.

The previous notation of cores by a "X#" moniker is gone as well, and instead the first digit of the model number denotes how many cores a processor has.
