4 unusual facts about Socket M


Socket 479

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

Socket M

It was also used in the first generation of the mobile version of Intel's Core 2 Duo, specifically, the T5x00 and T7x00 Merom lines (referred to as Napa Refresh), though that line switched to Socket P (Santa Rosa) in 2007.

Socket P

Socket P has 478 pins, but is not electrically pin-compatible with Socket M or Socket 478.
