Fusion controller hubs (FCH)

For AMD APU models from 2011 until 2016. AMD marketed their chipsets as Fusion Controller Hubs (FCH), implementing it across their product range in 2017 alongside the release of the Zen architecture. Before then, only APUs used FCHs, while their other CPUs still used a northbridge and southbridge. The Fusion Controller Hubs are similar in function to Intel's Platform Controller Hub. It communicates with the CPU using the UMI interface.

Switch to SoC AMD's FCH has been discontinued since the release of the Carrizo (2015, AM4) series of CPUs as it has been integrated into the same die as the rest of the CPU. What is known as the "chipset" is instead a special PCIe device that combines the functionalities of an PCIe switch (which expands the number of available PCIe lanes), a USB host, and/or a SATA host. This device connects to the CPU via a dedicated PCIe link.

Technically the processor can operate without a chipset; it only continues to be present for interfacing with low speed I/O. AMD server CPUs adopt a self contained system on chip design instead which doesn't require a chipset.

PCIe-based AMD chipsets have been repurposed as PCIe add-in cards: the AsRock "X670 Xpansion Kit" uses an additional B650 chipset to convert the AsRock B650 LiveMixer into an X670. An open-source "B650 Southbridge Expansion Card" also uses a B650 chip (single Promontory 21) and provides additional M.2, SATA, and USB ports. It works on both Intel and AMD platforms.

AM4 chipsets

A total of 3 generations of AM4-based chipsets has been released. These generations begin the numeric part of their models with 3, 4 and 5, respectively.

In addition to their traditional chipsets, AMD offers chipsets with "processor-direct access", exclusively through OEM partners. Enthusiast publication igor'sLAB obtained leaked documents about an AMD "Knoll Activator" that enables "activating... processor I/O and processor features in the absence of an alternative AMD chipset." It is concluded that motherboards with the Knoll Activator would be built with I/O from the processor and low-cost I/O chips.

Individual chipset models differ in the number of PCI Express lanes, USB ports, and SATA connectors, as well as supported technologies; the table below shows these differences.
