Technical specifications

The
front-side bus (FSB) of CPUs that install in Socket P can run at 400, 533, 667, 800, or 1066
MT/s. By adapting the multiplier the frequency of the CPU can throttle up or down to save power, given that all Socket P CPUs support
EIST, except for Celeron that do not support
EIST. Socket P has 478 pins, but is not electrically pin-compatible with
Socket M or
Socket 478
Socket 478, also known as mPGA478 or mPGA478B, is a 478-contact CPU socket used for Intel's Pentium 4 and Celeron series CPUs.
Socket 478 was launched in August 2001 in advance of the Northwood core to compete with AMD's 462-pin Socket A ...
. Socket P is also known as a 478-pin Micro FCPGA or μFCPGA-478. On the plastic grid is printed mPGA478MN.
