Socket 479

Although physically similar, the Socket 479 has a different electrical pin-arrangement from Socket 478, making it impossible to use a Pentium M processor in a normal 478 board even though it fits in a Socket 478.

In 2006, Intel released the successor to Socket 479 with a revised pinout for its Core processor, called Socket M.
