socket 8 การใช้

• It only came in one form factor, the relatively large rectangular Socket 8.
• Slot 1 is a successor to Socket 8.
• The packaging was designed for Socket 8.
• Slotkets were first created to allow the use of Socket 8 Pentium Pro processors on Slot 1 motherboards.
• Previously with the Pentium Pro, Intel had combined processor and cache dies in the same Socket 8 package.
• There are also converter cards, known as Slotkets, which hold a Socket 8 so that a Pentium Pro CPU can be used with Slot 1 motherboards.
• While the Socket 8 CPUs ( Pentium Pro ) directly had the L2-cache embedded into the CPU, it is located ( outside of the core ) on a circuit board shared with the core itself.
• The Intel 440FX chipset explicitly supported both Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors, but the Intel 440BX and later Slot 1 chipsets did not explicitly support the Pentium Pro, so the Socket 8 slockets did not see wide use.
• Combining the Pentium II Deschutes core in a flip-chip package with a 512 kB full speed L2 cache chip from the Pentium II Xeon into a Socket 8-compatible module resulted in a 300 or 333 MHz processor that could run on a 60 or 66 MHz front side bus.
