Socket 754 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Socket 754 was introduced in September 2003, or 5 months after socket 940, as a socket for workstation-class desktop and mobile microprocessors. In the middle of 2004 the Athlon 64 line of microprocessors was switched to Socket 939, which had dual-channel memory controller and faster HyperTransport link. After that the socket 754 was primarily used for Sempron processors and mobile CPUs. Eventually the socket 754 was replaced with socket 939 and socket AM2 for all desktop microprocessors, and replaced with socket S1 for all mobile microprocessors. The socket 754 works with desktop processors with frequencies up to 3700+ or 2.4 GHz, and with mobile processors with frequencies up to 4000+ or 2.6 GHz. The socket supports single-channel DDR SDRAM memory controller and one 800 MHz HyperTransport link.
The socket has 754 pin holes, hence the name "Socket 754". The pin holes are arranged as 29 x 29 grid, with 9 x 9 section removed from the center of the grid, and 6 corner pin holes plugged. Socket dimensions are 4.65 cm (4.16 cm without lever) x 5.48 cm or 1.83" (1.64" without lever) x 2.16". Supported processorsAll processors in the table below will physically fit into the socket, but not all of them are supported by all motherboards. If you're upgrading an old computer system please make sure that the CPU is compatible with your motherboard. Please see "Upgrading socket 754 motherboards" section below for information on how to determine what microprocessors can be supported by your motherboard.
