Socket 7 <hardware, standard> A physical and electrical specification for the {x86 processor socket} matching the pins on {Pentium} {microprocessors} manufactured by {Intel}, and compatibles made by {Cyrix}, {AMD} and others. Any {CPU} chip conforming to this specification can be plugged into any conforming {motherboard}. Supported processors include: 2.5V - 3.5V {Pentiums} 75-233 MHz, AMD {K5} through {K6}, Cyrix {6x86} (and MX) P120 - P233. Socket 7 uses a {SPGA} socket, either a 296 pin {LIF} or a 321 pin {ZIF} arranged as 37x37 or 19x19 (depending on who you speak to!). See also {Super 7}. Intel's {Pentium II} processor uses {Slot 1} mounting. [Pin-out?] (1999-08-29)
