Socket M (sometimes referred to as FCPGA6) is a CPU interface introduced by Intel in 2006 for the Intel Core line of mobile processors [1]. It is currently used in all Intel Core products, as well as the Core-derived Dual-Core Xeon codenamed "Sossaman". It is also used in the first generation of the mobile version of Intel's Core 2 Duo, specifically, the T5x00 and T7x00 ("Merom") lines, though that line will switch to Socket P in 2007.

Socket M is not pin-compatible with Socket 479.
