Socket 479 is a microprocessor socket for mobile platforms with 479 holes, but CPUs made for it only have 478 pins. It was created in 2001 and has a wider processing speed range than most sockets. CPUs made for socket 478 won’t work with socket 479 due to different pin configurations.
Socket 479 is an Intel® Central Processing Unit (CPU) integration socket that allows the motherboard and CPU to work hand-in-hand to perform functions. Most sockets have a number after them to indicate how many pins there are on the socket and the CPU, which would lead many to believe that this socket and the CPU both have 479 pins, but this CPU really does have 478. It’s called 479 to differentiate it from socket 478, used for desktop computers; the 479 connector is used for mobile platforms. Socket 478 CPUs can be plugged into connector 479, but will not electronically configure or function in this socket.
Socket 479 is a microprocessor socket, which means it’s made for CPUs that don’t fit desktops, i.e. laptops and laptops. Created in 2001, this socket has many different microprocessors made under its design. There are Pentium 3-M®, Celeron® mobile, Coppermine-T® and Tualatin® CPUs all made for this socket.
There are 479 holes in the socket 479 connector. The strange thing about this socket is that, normally, CPUs have the same amount of pins as the socket, but CPUs that fit this socket only have 478 pins. This was done to differentiate the socket from socket 478, which was made for desktop computers at the same time. Socket 478 CPUs may fit the 479 connector, but they won’t work because the electronics and pin configuration are different. The amount of pins means that many CPUs made after this socket may fit the 479 connector, but even they won’t work.
To understand the difference between a socket 478 and socket 479 processor – as the CPUs look relatively the same – looking at the pin configuration will help. Both CPUs have 478 pins, but the pin configuration is different in the lower right corner. CPU 478s lack two pin spaces next to each other, while CPU 479s lack two pin spaces diagonally from each other. This pin configuration is one of the reasons why 478 CPUs don’t work with the 479 socket.
The minimum and maximum processing speed of the 479 socket has a wider gap than most other sockets. The low processing rate is at 700 megahertz (MHz) and can go up to 2.333 MHz. The higher rate wasn’t put to good use until 2006, at the end of socket 479’s career, just before it was phased out for more sockets. advanced.
