List of all CPUs and their sockets

mechem

whered u find all that stuff.

Serious Sam

I believe I've completed the list for now, except for skeeder's huge list of all those CPUs! This is only meant as a reference for current system builders, so that's why I'm not going alllll the way back to pre-1980's, etc. I hope this helps someone. As before, if there's anything I missed please post and tell me!

EDIT: Thanks for your help everyone! Unfortunately I can't give any rep right now, I'll try to hand some out later.

just so u know its socket 5 and 7, i have a socket 7 in my house to confirm this

Serious Sam

Gotcha. Fixed.

Socket 7 was the last socket that was shared between Intel and AMD. Cyrix also used Socket 7 for their last CPU designs.

This is why Socket 7 is so popular, even now. The "OrangePC" card in my current computer uses a Socket 7 with an AMD K6 III in it.

If wanted, I could list the sockets from the Intel 4004 to the Intel 80286.

What about AMD's Socket 638/S1? Just noticed it wasn't there.. Good list though :-)

there is the "mother of all cpu charts" found at tomshardware.com

Sorry for bump but to add to the list... :
It's not Intel but it's a Socket 7 from Cyrix/IBM: The P150+
I think the P120+ may be Socket 7 too but I can't confirm that right now...

Joe_B_Me

it was a sticky, you didn't bump anything :)

PM serious sam if you want him to update it. He hasnt been on for like 3 weeks, so I wouldn't expect any word from him any time soon.

SugarD-x

Oh, I didn't know you couldn't bump a sticky
If I see him on sometime soon I'll do that :D

What about the AM2 and LGA 775

ehem toledo has a 3800+ core also :]

he doesn't post here, maybe Joe can update it.




WhiteBoy88 edit: cut the crap and be polite.

A CPU socket is often made up of plastic, a metal lever or latch and metal contacts for each of the pins or lands on the CPU. Most packages are keyed to ensure the proper insertion of the CPU. CPUs with a PGA package are inserted into the socket and the latch is closed. This has the effect of physically securing and protecting the CPU as well as causing an electrical connection between all the CPU pins and the socket. In the case of LGA the CPU is placed onto the socket and a latch is closed over the CPU, securing it. Most CPU sockets are designed to support the installation of a heatsink. It must be able to protect the CPU from the weight of the heatsink (often very heavy in weight relative to the CPU) particularly during the installation and removal, but also ensuring the heatsink makes good thermal contact with the CPU.

CPU sockets provide an advantage over directly attaching CPUs to the PCB by making it easier to replace the processor in the event of a failure. The CPU is often the most expensive component in the system and the cost of a CPU socket is relatively low which makes this popular among computer system manufacturers.

The nature of a CPU socket requires it to not only make good electrical contact with the CPU, but must also be solderable to the PCB with which it interfaces.

What other benefit of it ?

Wow way to go bumping a 3 year old thread with completely useless information... dip stick...

Irish2685

Furball, it's spam. He posted here too: http://www.xoxideforums.com/electron...d-power-2.html

He's not linking anything in either, but if you look at the spam post above his in the linked thread, the spammer's name is PeterAugusts. It's not just a coincidence.

furball zen

I know, just wanted to insult him a bit ;)

obobskivich

you're insulting either a bot that can't read English, or someone in a foreign country ("you know where") who can't read English - either way, it doesn't matter to it

quasi-related to the thread:
the OP should be revised and made a sticky imho - just because well..we already have all of this info so why not

might grab it out when I get home
