3. Interface type

We know that the CPU needs to be connected to the motherboard through an interface to work. After so many years of development, the interface methods adopted by CPU are pin, card, contact and pin. At present, the interfaces of CPU are all pin interfaces, which correspond to the motherboard and have corresponding slot types. Different types of CPU interfaces have different jacks in number, volume and shape, so they cannot be mixed.

1) socket 775

Socket 775, also known as Socket T, is the corresponding interface of CPU encapsulated by Intel LGA775. At present, the CPU packaged by LGA775 includes Pentium 4, Pentium 4 EE, Celeron D and so on. Different from the previous Socket 478 interface CPU, the bottom of Socket 775 interface CPU has 775 contacts instead of the traditional pins, that is, it is not pin-type, but contact-type. The signal is transmitted by making contact with the 775 contact pin in the corresponding socket 775. Socket 775 interface can not only effectively improve the signal strength and frequency of the processor, but also improve the yield of the processor and reduce the production cost. With the gradual fading out of Socket 478, Socket 775 will become the standard interface for all Intel desktop CPUs in the future.

2) socket 754

Socket 754 was the CPU interface when AMD 64-bit desktop platform was first released in September 2003. At present, there are low-end Athlon 64 and high-end Sempron with 754 CPU pins. With the popularity of Socket 939, Socket 754 will eventually fade out.

3) Socket 939

Socket 939 is a 64-bit desktop interface standard introduced by AMD in June 2004. At present, there are high-end Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX with 939 CPU pins. Socket 939 processor and Socket 940 slot cannot be mixed, but Socket 939 still uses the same CPU fan system mode. So the fans used for socket 940 and socket 754 can also be used for socket 939 processor.

4) Socket 940

Socket 940 is the earliest AMD 64-bit interface standard with 940 CPU pins. At present, servers/workstations use Snapdragon and Athlon 64 FX as this interface. With the new Athlon 64 FX switching to Socket 939 interface, Socket 940 will become Opteron's special interface.

5) Socket 603

Socket 603 is used professionally and applied to Intel's high-end server/workstation platform. The CPU using this interface is Xeon MP and early Xeon, with 603 CPU pins. The CPU of Socket 603 interface can be compatible with Socket 604 slot.

6) Socket 604

Similar to Socket 603, Socket 604 is still a high-end server/workstation platform for Intel. The CPU using this interface is Xeon of 533MHz and 800MHz FSB. The CPU of Socket 604 interface is not compatible with Socket 603 slot.

7) Socket 478

Socket 478 interface is the interface type adopted by Pentium 4 series processors at present, with 478 pins. The Pentium 4 processor in the socket 478 has a small area and the pins are arranged very closely. Intel's Pentium 4 series and P4 Celeron series all use this interface.

8) socket a

Socket A interface, also called Socket 462, is the socket interface of AMD's Athlon XP and Duron processors. Socket A interface has 462 pins and can support 133MHz external frequency.

9) Socket 423

The socket 423 was the standard interface of the original Pentium 4 processor. The shape of the 423 socket is similar to that of the previous socket, and the corresponding number of CPU pins is 423. Socket 423 slots are mostly based on the motherboard of Intel 850 chipset, and support Pentium 4 processors of 1.3 GHz ~ 1.8 GHz. However, with the popularity of DDR memory, Intel developed the i845 chipset supporting SDRAM and DDR memory, changed the CPU slot to Socket 478, and the Socket 423 interface disappeared.

10) socket 370

Socket 370 architecture is developed by Intel, not a socket architecture. It looks very similar to Socket 7, and it also uses zero-plug slots, and the corresponding CPU is 370 pins. Intel's famous "Copper Mine" and "tualatin" series CPU all use this interface.

1 1) slot 1

Slot 1 is a patented CPU interface developed by Intel Corporation to replace Socket 7. In this way, other manufacturers can't produce products with slot 1 interface. The CPU of SLOT 1 interface is no longer a familiar square, but a flat cuboid, and the interface has also become a golden finger, no longer in the form of a pin.

Slot 1 is a slot designed by Intel Corporation for Pentium II series CPU. Pentium II CPU and its related control circuits and secondary cache are all on a daughter card, and most slots 1 motherboards use 100MHz external frequency. Slot 1 has advanced technical structure, which can provide greater internal transmission bandwidth and CPU performance. This interface has been eliminated, and there is no such interface product on the market.

12) slot 2

Slot 2 is used professionally for high-end servers and graphics workstation systems. The CPU used is also expensive Xeon series. There are many differences between slot 2 and slot 1. First of all, the Slot 2 slot is longer and the CPU itself is larger. Secondly, Slot 2 is competent for more demanding multi-purpose computing, which is the key to enter the high-end enterprise computing market. In the standard server design at that time, general manufacturers could only use two Pentium II processors in the system at the same time. With the design of slot 2, a server can use eight processors at the same time. Moreover, Pentium II CPU with Slot 2 interface adopted the most advanced 0.25 micron manufacturing technology at that time. Motherboard chipsets supporting SLOT 2 interface include 440GX and 450NX.

13) slot a

SLOT A interface is similar to Intel's SLOT 1 interface, which is used by AMD's K7 Athlon. In terms of technology and performance, SLOT A motherboard is fully compatible with all kinds of original peripheral expansion cards. It does not use Intel's P6GTL+ bus protocol, but Digital's Alpha bus protocol EV6. EV6 architecture is an advanced architecture, which adopts multi-thread point-to-point topology and supports 200MHz bus frequency.
