I am building a system using an APU for now, but I will change the APU to get a CPU, and a graphics when I have the money. The x4 860k is the best fm2+ CPU that' s available. I was wondering if AMD will release another FM2+ CPU in the future? If possible, could, when do you estimate that it would happen?
(I wanted to go with a am3 plus CPU, but I would not have enough money to buy a decent graphics card with it for now. I am not in a hurry, so I thought I could start up with an APU?)
Thank you!!
 
Solution
there is actually an 880k but it is little more than an oc'ed 860k. but that should be the last for that slot. the new chips should all be on an am4 slot which amd is releasing with the new chips whenever that is
There most likely will not be another FM2+ processor, and even then none worth buying.
If you are considering APU>CPU+GPU transition look into getting a Skylake processor. Intels 530 graphics are fairly good, and will be cheaper in the long run.
