Any expert saw this kind of adapter before(Socket370 to Socket479)

[MCW]

I saw this kind of adapter from Hong Kong Hardware Forum, I chatted with the owner of it before, he said that his friend pulled it out from the notebook.

So, does any expert saw this kind of adapter before???

It's a P3 mobile in a regular 370 slot. Only 256k L2 cache, 1.13Ghz.

According to the S-Spec its a socket 478 processor. Is that still a P3??

They made alot of different cpus for different sockets, it's amazing to which extend cpu's are compatible.

I think its one of those old p4 socket 423 I believe, adapted to fit a socket 478 cpu.
Thanks

The chip is a P-3 mobile.

Both of those are the same size though.

So the p3 mobile uses socket 479 as well as the p m? That is pretty cool. Oh, and socket 479 has 478 pins but is a lot smaller so they had to call it something else.

So overall. What is this socket.

No, P3s and PMs use different sockets/packaging.
