slotted vs socket@

[leza]

What is the different between slotted and Socket processor? which one is
used these days

 

[JAD]

sockets have taken over that job these days. it refers to the way the
connector is configured- slotted =slot not unlike a memory dimm or a PCI
card. socket= multiple male pinned chip being inseted into a multipinned
female connector, nowadays refered to as a "zif"(zero insertion force) when
dealing with CPU's..

Slotted processors are not produced anymore. Intel Pentium III's were
slotted for a while several years ago. Now everyone uses various socket
configurations.
