The CPU socket or slot is the connector that interfaces between a computer's motherboard and the processor itself. Most CPU sockets and processors in use today are built around the pin grid array (PGA) architecture, in which the pins on the underside of the processor are inserted into the socket, usually with zero insertion force ( ZIF) to aid installation. Slot based proccessors are cartridge shaped and fix into a slot that looks similar to expansion slots.
Socket 478In computing, Socket 478 is a type of CPU socket used for Intel's Pentium 4 and Celeron series CPUs. Socket 478 is going away with the launch of LGA 775 (LGA stands for Land Grid Array referring to the fact that the pins are on the motherboard). Socket 47 - Intel Celeron, Pentium 4
Socket 563 - Mobile Athlon XP
Socket 603 - Xeon
Socket 604 - Xeon
Socket 775 - (also known as LGA 775 or Socket T) - Intel Pentium 4
Socket 754Socket 754 is budget version of Socket 939, an AMD Athlon 64 processor socket. Compared to Socket 939, it has: single channel memory controller (64-bits wide) with maximum of 3 DIMMs lower HyperTransport speed (1600 MHz) lower effective data bandwidth (9. - AMD Athlon 64
Socket 939Summary Socket 939 was introduced by AMD as an answer to Intel's new platform for desktop products,Socket LGA775. Although it does not support DDR2 memory, the combination of various Socket 939 motherboards and Athlon 64/ Athlon_64_FX CPUs and been repeat - AMD Athlon 64
Socket 940 - AMD Athlon 64, Opteron
1.2 Slots
Slot 1Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intel's microprocessors, including the Celeron and the Pentium II. Slot 1 was a departure from the square ZIF PGA/SPGA sockets used for the Pentium and earlier pr - Pentium II
Slot 2Slot 2 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the 330-lead edge-connector used by some of Intel's microprocessors, including the Pentium III and Xeon. Slot 2 is intended for use in high end multi-processor workstations and servers. See al - Pentium II Xeon, Pentium III Xeon
Slot 3 - ItaniumIn computing, the Itanium is an IA-64 microprocessor developed jointly by Hewlett-Packard and Intel. The first version, code named Merced shipped in June 2001. Manufactured in a 180 nm process, it was offered at speeds of 733 and 800MHz, with a choice of
Slot ASlot A refers to the physical and electrical specification for the edge-connector used by AMD's Athlon processor. The connector allows for a higher bus rate than Socket 7 or Super 7. Slot A motherboards use Compaq's EV6 bus protocol. Slot A is mechanicall - Early AthlonAthlon is the brand name applied to a series of different x86 processors designed and manufactured by AMD. The original Athlon, or Athlon Classic was the first seventh-generation x86 processor and, in a first, retained the initial performance lead it hads
