Socket A (also known as Socket 462) is a zero insertion force pin grid array (PGA) CPU socket used for AMD processors ranging from the Athlon Thunderbird to the Athlon XP/MP 3200+, and AMD budget processors including the Duron and Sempron.

Mar 24, 2023 · Socket 462 (also called Socket A) is a PGA socket designed for AMD K7 family of processors. This socket can be used with AMD Athlon and Duron processors ranging in speed from 600 MHz to 2200 MHz (3200+) and with bus frequences ranging from 100 MHz to 200 MHz (400 MHz DDR).

Mar 7, 2025 · ↑ This socket has graphics interfaces (DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, etc.) to accommodate Accelerated Processing Units i.e. processors with integrated graphics. Not all processors for this socket may integrate a graphics processor.

• Supports AMD Socket 462 Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron/Sempron Processor with 400/333/266MHz FSB Chipset • VIA KM400A + VT8237 Memory • Two 184-pin DIMMs • DDR400/333/266/200 un-buffered Memory • Support DDR400 Memory up to 2GB Graphics • Integrated UniChrome Pro Graphics with 2D/3D/video controller SATA RAID

May 14, 2021 · The AMD Socket 462 or Socket A, was a rather interesting and long-lasting CPU Socket. The first models of Socket 462 processors appeared in the summer of 2000, they were just the first representatives of the AMD Athlon “Thunderbird” in a ceramic case with a clock frequency of 600 MHz, and with 256 KB of L2 cache , an effective system bus ...

Nov 12, 2024 · The Socket 462, also known as the Socket A, is an AMD CPU socket that utilizes the pin grid array. The socket was compatible with Athlon Thunderbird, Athlon XP, Athlon MP (multiprocessor), Duron, and Sempron processors.

Jun 5, 2000 · The Socket-462 interface has the same physical dimensions as a Socket-7 or a Socket-370 socket, which allows it to use the same cooling fans and clips that are used on Socket-7 and Socket-370...

Socket AM3 (also known as Socket 941) is a socket for installing AMD processors. The AM3 socket was introduced in February 2009 and replaced the previous generation AM2+ socket. The main changes in the architecture of this connector include support for DDR3 SDRAM memory and a faster HyperTransport bus.

Dec 20, 2024 · Socket A (462) debuted in 2000, supporting Athlon and early Sempron processors. It used a Pin Grid Array (PGA) design with 462 pins. Socket 754 and Socket 939 followed, designed for Athlon 64 processors. These sockets supported DDR memory and marked AMD’s transition to 64-bit computing.

Socket 462 or Socket A (AMD) Socket A is the socket that took over from Slot A (AMD’s version of Slot 1, which used the same connector incompatibly by turning it upside down). It hosted AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Duron and Sempron CPUs.
