Will AMD's Richland APUs use the FM2 Socket?

[stevydinho]

More specifically, will the A10-6800k work in an ASRock FM2A75 Pro4 motherboard? (I can update the BIOS if necessary)

If you have a trinity cpu, wait for kaveri not richland, but yes, with a bios update it will work.

What is the difference?

 

[noob2222]

Kaveri will be an updated cpu core, richland is primarily a graphics update.

OK thanks
