Socket AM2 was the socket for OPGA-940 and OPGA-938-packaged AMD microprocessors with an integrated DDR2 memory controller and the successor to Socket 939. Socket AM2 targets the performance, mainstream, and value desktop segment. Its contemporaries are Socket S1 for mobile processors and Socket F for the server and workstation market. For the small form factor desktop, mobile and embedded market AMD developed package ASB1. Socket AM2 was superseded by Socket AM2+.

The OPGA-940 package for Socket AM2 is compatible with Socket AM2+. The package has the same dimensions but is mechanically, due to keying, and electrically incompatible with Socket 939 for processors with a DDR memory controller, Socket 940 for first generation Opteron processors, and Socket AM3 and AM3+ for processors with a DDR3 memory controller.

Socket AM2+ processors in the OPGA-940 package and Socket AM3 processors in the OPGA-938 package are compatible with Socket AM2, subject to the motherboard recognizing the CPU and the limitations of Socket AM2.

All processors for Socket AM2 belong to AMD's NPT Family 0Fh and use the K8 microarchitecture.
