Talk:Socket A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] First 1 GHz x86 platform?

I'm pretty sure it was on Slot A and not Socket A. AMD broke the 1 GHz barrier when they released the 800, 900 and 1 GHz versions on March 6th 2000. I think Socket A didn't debut until June that year. DrFod

-- Very true, according to articles on review sites, the first 1 GHz CPU (Athlon) debuted on Slot A. http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20000314/index.html
