Socket 1 was the second of a series of standard sockets created by Intel into which various x86 microprocessors were plugged. A CPU socket or CPU slot is a connector on a computer's Motherboard that accepts a CPU and forms an electrical interface with it See also X86 assembly language The generic term x86 refers to the most commercially successful Instruction set architecture in the history of Personal A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a Central processing unit (CPU on a single Integrated It was an upgrade to Intel's first standard PGA socket and the first with an official designation. A pin grid array, often abbreviated PGA, refers to the arrangement of pins on the integrated circuit packaging Socket 1 was intended as a 486 upgrade socket, and added one extra pin to prevent upgrade chips from being inserted into the older socket.
Socket 1 was a 169 pin LIF/ZIF PGA (17x17) socket suitable for the 5v, 16-33 MHz 486 SX, 486 DX, 486 DX2 and DX4 Overdrive processors. Low-insertion-force sockets (LIF are integrated circuit sockets that are designed so the force required to insert or remove a package is low A pin grid array, often abbreviated PGA, refers to the arrangement of pins on the integrated circuit packaging The volt (symbol V) is the SI derived unit of electric Potential difference or Electromotive force. The hertz (symbol Hz) is a measure of Frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per Second. The Intel 's i486SX was a modified Intel 486DX Microprocessor with its Floating-point unit (FPU disconnected The Intel 486, otherwise known as the 80486 i486 or just 486 was the first tightly pipelined X86 design The Intel 's i486DX2 is a CPU produced by Intel that was introduced in 1989. The Intel 's i486 OverDrive processors are a category of various Intel 80486s that were produced with the designated purpose of
