Y2 is an 80nm GPU and is used on the Zephyr_B motherboard. It is the successor to Y1. Minimal changes were required to move from the 90nm to the 80nm process. The eDRAM was not shrunk and remains on a 90nm process.

The PCIe ballout was de-swizzled (flipped) for the Zephyr_B motherboard, making this chip incompatible earlier motherboards. It uses the Edifis eDRAM. This chip contains a design defect in which low Tg underfill is used to support the bumps. This causes reliability issues and premature failure of the chip. No versions with higher Tg underfill were produced. Thus, no versions of this chip are known to be reliable.
