Socket 5

CPU socket
name = Socket 5


type = ZIF
formfactors = SPGA
contacts = 320
protocol = proprietary
fsb = 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 66 MHz
voltage = 3.1 to 3.6 V
processors = Intel Pentium (75 - 133 MHz)
Intel Pentium Overdrive (125 - 166 MHz)
Intel Pentium Overdrive MMX (125 - 200 MHz)
AMD K5 (PR75 - PR200)
IDT WinChip (180 - 200 MHz)
IDT WinChip-2 (200 - 240 MHz)
IDT WinChip-2a (233 MHz)
and compatible

Socket 5 was created for the second generation of Intel Pentium processors operating at speeds from 75 to 133 MHz as well as certain Pentium OverDrive processors. Pentium MMX processors are not compatible with Socket 5. Consisting of 320 pins,Core Voltage 3.3V ,this was the first socket to use a staggered pin grid array, or SPGA. This design allowed the chip's pins to be spaced closer together. Socket 5 was replaced by Socket 7.
