What is socket.478?

Socket 478 is a type of CPU socket designed for Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors. It was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for Socket 423 and was used in desktop systems until it was succeeded by LGA 775 in 2004.

Socket 478 supports processors with clock speeds ranging from 1.3 GHz to 3.4 GHz, with bus speeds of 400 MHz, 533 MHz, and 800 MHz. It uses a 478-pin configuration and operates on a 1.7 V core voltage.

Overall, Socket 478 was a popular choice for mid-range and high-end desktop systems in the early 2000s and offered good performance for its time. However, it has since been phased out in favor of newer socket designs.
