TheIntelSocket P(mPGA478MN) is the mobileprocessor socketreplacement forCore microarchitecturechips such asCore 2 Duo.It launched on May 9, 2007, as part of theSanta Rosa platformwith theMeromandPenrynprocessors.

Technical specifications

Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 CPU showing Socket P

Thefront-side bus (FSB)of CPUs that install in Socket P can run at 400, 533, 667, 800, or 1066MT/s.By adapting the multiplier the frequency of the CPU can throttle up or down to save power, given that all Socket P CPUs supportEIST,except for Celeron that do not supportEIST.Socket P has 478 pins, but is not electrically pin-compatible withSocket MorSocket 478.Socket P is also known as a 478-pin Micro FCPGA or μFCPGA-478. On the plastic grid is printed mPGA478MN.
