AMD's APUs sure seem to have gained the backing of every possible hardware maker

We've seen Sapphire's FM2 motherboard and now we get to see another platform ready to accept the Trinity APUs from Advanced Micro Devices.

Foxconn is present at Computex 2012, in Taipei, Taiwan, and one of the products on show at its booth is the AMD A85 FCH.

Long story short, this is a motherboard featuring socket FM2, the one that A-Series Trinity accelerated processing units use.

Also, it is the sort of mainboard that mainstream DIY users will find most sense in buying.

That said, the platform has four DDR3 memory slots (dual-channel support), a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, a mini PCI Express slot, two PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots and a pair of legacy PCI slots for good measure.

Six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports are available too, along with two eSATA, six USB 3.0 ports (four on the back panel, two headers), 8-channel HD audio, Gigabit Ethernet, DVI and D-Sub.

No price was specified, but sales should start soon.
