Family 14h (also known as fam14h, or ambiguously as fam14) is a family of AMD microprocessors corresponding to the Bobcat microarchitecture. All Family 16h processors were APUs, combining a CPU and a "fast-by-integrated-standards" GPU on a single die.

Like other AMD family names, 14h ("14 hexadecimal") is a mostly-arbitrary, somewhat-sequential (new processor families receive unused higher family numbers) number, returned by the x86 CPUID instruction as a "Family number", and commonly written in hexadecimal. 14 in hexadecimal corresponds to the number 20 in decimal, meaning that while "Family 20" would also be a valid, if confusing, name for these CPUs, "Family 14" could also refer to the apparently-nonexistent Family 0Eh.
