38-460: A Socket 370 CPU in a Slot 1. These are generally more common than Socket 8 to Slot 1 slotkets. Many of these latter devices are equipped with their own voltage regulator modules, in order to supply the new CPU with a lower core voltage, which the motherboard would not otherwise allow. The Single Edge Contact Cartridge, or " SECC ", was used at the beginning of the Slot 1-era for Pentium II CPUs. Inside

57-459: A package, reducing cost and making the CPU more attractive to markets other than that of high-end servers. These cards could also be easily plugged into a Slot 1, thereby eliminating the chance for pins of a typical CPU to be bent or broken when installing in a socket. The form factor used for Slot 1 was a 5-inch-long, 242-contact edge connector named SC242. To prevent the cartridge from being inserted

76-538: A traditional socket interface with Socket A in 2000. AMD offered official chipsets for the Slot A CPUs. These are included in the table below. Third-party chipsets includes a large number of VIA K-series chipsets. In practice, third-party chipsets were heavily favoured by motherboard manufacturers. Stability problems and compatibility quirks from these chipsets abounded from manufacturers not following chipset designers' guidelines. This caused long-lasting damage to AMD's reputation, despite AMD having nothing to do with

95-541: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Single Edge Contact Cartridge Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intel 's microprocessors, including the Pentium Pro , Celeron , Pentium II and the Pentium III . Both single and dual processor configurations were implemented. Intel reverted to

114-400: Is mechanically compatible but electrically incompatible with Intel 's Slot 1 . As a consequence, Slot A motherboards were designed to have the connector's installed orientation be rotated 180 degrees relative to Slot 1 motherboards to discourage accidental insertion of a Slot 1 processor into a Slot A motherboard, and vice versa. The choice to use the same mechanical connector as

133-464: The CPU is less likely to be damaged by improper installation of a cooler. Following SECC, the SEPP -form (Single Edge Processor Package) appeared on the market. It was designed for lower-priced Celeron CPUs. This form lacks a case entirely, consisting solely of the printed-circuit board holding the components. A form factor called SECC2 was used for late Pentium II and Pentium III CPUs for Slot 1, which

152-683: The Intel P5 Pentium MMX CPU, Intel completely left the Socket 7 market. Slot A Slot A is the physical and electrical specification for a 242-lead single-edge-connector used by early versions of AMD 's Athlon processor. The Slot A connector allows for a higher bus rate than Socket 7 or Super Socket 7 . Slot A motherboards use the EV6 bus protocol, a technology originally developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for its Alpha 21264 microprocessor. Slot A

171-484: The Intel Slot ;1 also allowed motherboard manufacturers to keep costs down by stocking the same part for both Slot 1 and Slot A assemblies. Unlike with Slot 1 CPUs, there were never any converter cards, or slotkets made that allowed Socket A CPUs to be used on Slot A motherboards, as what happened with the slotkets made for using Socket 370 CPUs in Slot 1 motherboards. AMD went back into using

190-654: The L2-cache embedded into the CPU, it is located (outside of the core) on a circuit board shared with the core itself. The exception is later Slot 1 CPUs with the Coppermine core which have the L2-cache embedded into the die. In the beginning of 2000, around the time the Coppermine Pentium III CPUs with FC-PGA housing were already commonplace, Slot 1 was slowly succeeded by Socket 370 , after Intel had already offered Socket 370 and Slot 1 CPUs at

209-528: The cartridge, the CPU itself is enclosed in a hybrid plastic and metal case. The back of the housing is plastic and has several markings on it: the name, "Pentium II"; the Intel logo; a hologram ; and the model number. The front consists of a black anodized aluminum plate, which is used to hold the CPU cooler. The SECC form is very solid, because the CPU itself is resting safely inside the case. As compared to socket-based CPUs, there are no pins that can be bent, and

247-499: The same part for both Slot 1 and Slot A assemblies. With the new Slot 1, Intel added support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). A maximum of two Pentium II or Pentium III CPUs can be used in a dual slot motherboard. The Celeron does not have official SMP support. 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. These specific converters, however, are rare. Another kind of slotket allows using

285-483: The same time since late 1998. Socket 370 was initially made for low-cost Celeron processors starting with the Mendocino Celerons, while Slot 1 was thought of as a platform for the more expensive Pentium II and early Pentium III models. Both cache and core were embedded into the die. Slot 1 also obsoleted the old Socket 7 , at least regarding Intel, as the standard platform for home users. After superseding

304-524: The traditional socket interface with the release of Socket 370 in 1999. With the introduction of the Pentium II CPU, the need for greater access for testing had made the transition from socket to slot necessary. Previously with the Pentium Pro , Intel had combined processor and cache dies in the same Socket 8 package. These were connected by a full-speed bus, resulting in significant performance benefits. Unfortunately, this method required that

323-509: The two components be bonded together early in the production process, before testing was possible. As a result, a single, tiny flaw in either die made it necessary to discard the entire assembly, causing low production yield and high cost. Intel subsequently designed a circuit board where the CPU and cache remained closely integrated, but were mounted on a printed circuit board , called a Single-Edged Contact Cartridge (SECC). The CPU and cache could be tested separately, before final assembly into

342-417: The wrong way, the slot was keyed to allow installation in only one direction. The SC242 was later used for AMD's Slot A as well, and while the two slots were identical mechanically, they were electrically incompatible. To discourage Slot A users from trying to install a Slot 1 CPU, the connector was rotated 180 degrees on Slot A motherboards. This also allowed motherboard manufacturers to save costs by stocking

361-537: Was created to accommodate the switch to flip chip packaging. Only the front plate was carried over, the coolers were now mounted straight to the PCB and exposed CPU die and are, as such, incompatible with SECC cartridges. Historically, there are three platforms for the Intel P6 CPUs: Socket 8, Slot 1 and Socket 370. Slot 1 is a successor to Socket 8 . While the Socket 8 CPUs (Pentium Pro) directly had
