Socket A (also known as Socket 462) is the 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. Athlon is the brand name applied to a series of different X86 processors designed and manufactured by AMD. Athlon is the brand name applied to a series of different X86 processors designed and manufactured by AMD. The AMD Duron was an X86 -compatible Computer processor manufactured by AMD. Sempron has been the marketing name used by AMD for several different entry level desktop CPUs using several different technologies and CPU socket Athlon is the brand name applied to a series of different X86 processors designed and manufactured by AMD.

Sempron has been the marketing name used by AMD for several different entry level desktop CPUs using several different technologies and CPU socket Socket A also supports the recent AMD Geode NX embedded processors (derived from the Mobile Athlon XP). For other uses of Geode see Geode (disambiguation Geode is a series of X86 -compatible System-on-a-chip Microprocessors Athlon is the brand name applied to a series of different X86 processors designed and manufactured by AMD. The socket is a zero insertion force pin grid array type with 453 pins (nine pins are blocked in the socket to prevent accidental insertion of Socket 370 CPUs, hence the number 462). ZIF is an acronym for zero insertion force, a concept used in the design of IC sockets invented to avoid problems caused by applying force upon insertion and A pin grid array, often abbreviated PGA, refers to the arrangement of pins on the integrated circuit packaging Socket 370 (also known as the PGA370 socket) is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron The front side bus frequencies supported for the AMD Athlon XP and Sempron are 133 MHz, 166 MHz, and 200 MHz.
AMD recommends that the mass of a Socket A CPU cooler not exceed 300 grams (10. For other uses of the words gram or gramme see Gram (disambiguation. 6 ounces). This article is about the unit of mass For the unit of force see Pound-force. Heavier coolers may result in damage to the die when the system is not properly handled. A die in the context of Integrated circuits is a small block of semiconducting material on which a given functional circuit is fabricated
Socket A has been discontinued in favor of Socket 754, Socket 939, and recently Socket AM2, except for its use with Geode NX processors. Socket 754 is a CPU socket originally developed by AMD to succeed its Athlon XP platform (Socket 462 also referred to as Socket A) Socket 939 is a CPU socket released by AMD in June 2004 to supersede the previous Socket 754 for Athlon 64 processors The Socket AM2, renamed from Socket M2 (to prevent using the same name as Cyrix MII processors is a CPU socket designed by AMD for desktop However, microprocessors and motherboards from many vendors are still available.
Technical specifications
- Support of processor clock-speeds between 600 MHz (Duron) to 2333 MHz (Athlon XP 3200+)
- Double data rate 100, 133, 166 and 200 MHz front side bus on Duron, XP and Sempron processors, based on the DEC Alpha EV6 bus. The hertz (symbol Hz) is a measure of Frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per Second. In Computing, a Computer bus operating with double data rate transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the Clock signal. In Personal computers the Front Side Bus ( FSB) is the bus that carries data between the CPU and the northbridge. Alpha, originally known as Alpha AXP, was a 64-bit Reduced instruction set computer (RISC Instruction set architecture (ISA developed
Initially launched with just 100 FSB support from earlier chipsets, and evolved stepwise to higher FSB, so while the socket has remained pin compatible throughout its lifetime, clock, timing, BIOS and voltage issues restrict compatibility between older chipsets and later processors.
Socket A mechanical load limits
All socket A processors (Athlon, Sempron, Duron and Geode NX) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits may crack the processor die and make it unusable.
| Location | Dynamic | Static |
|---|---|---|
| Die Surface | 445 N(100 lbf) | 133 N(30 lbf) |
| Die Edge | 44 N(10 lbf) | 44 N(10 lbf) |
Those load limits are quite small compared to the load limits of Socket 478 processors.

In Computing, Socket 478 is a type of CPU socket used for Intel 's Pentium 4 and Celeron series CPUs. Indeed, they were so small that many users ended up with cracked processors while trying to remove or attach heatsinks for their fragile processors. It must be noted though that many processors were cracked by non-standard or non-certified heatsink solutions as many, although by no means all, Socket A processors were shipped as bare OEM processors in trays.
