Also called Socket H or Socket H1 --



Has 1156 pins and Land Grid Array setup.



Integrated Northbridge onto the CPU chip.



Released in 2009

Intel LGA 1155

Also called Socket H2 --



Has 1155 pins and is Land Grid Array setup.



Replacement for LGA 1156 so looks familiar, but is not compatible with.

AMD Socket AM3

941 pins on socket and uses PGA-ZIF setup.



Made in 2009



AM3 processors could be used in Socket AM2/AM2+ with BIOS update.

AMD Scoket AM3+

942 pins on socket and uses PGA-ZIF setup.



Made in 2011



Used in...


AM3+ motherboard only.

AMD Socket FM1

905 pins on socket and PGA-ZIF setup.



Was faster, supported DDR3 and PCIe 2.0



Made in 2011



Used in...


AMD 10h CPU architecture


AMD A-series processors.

AMD Socket FM2

904 pins and a PGA-ZIF setup.



One pin difference to the AMD Socket FM1. They are not compatible.



Made in 2012.



Used in...


Piledriver CPU architecture


AMD Socket FM2+

Also called AMD Socket FM2b --



906 pins and micro PGA (üPGA)-ZIF setup.



Has 2 more pins than AMD Socket FM2. So not compatible with FM2 motherboards.



Made in 2014



Used in...


Steamroller architecture.

Real Speed

Overall clock speed that the CPU runs at.



Measured in MHz or GHz.

Actual Speed

The speed at which your computer system runs.



An assessment of clock speed, CPU architecture, bus speed, bus width, cache sizes, and OS capabilities all play a part.

L1 Cache

Level 1 cache memory. Usually integrated right into the die. Fastest of the cache memory.

L2 Cache memory

Second fastest cache memory. Found on the chip but not in the die. Usually dedicated to a single core at a time.

L3 Cache Memory

Slowest of the cache memory, but still really fast! L3 Cache memory is generally shared cache memory among all the cores. Still on the chip, but not directly integrated into the die.

HTT

Hyper-Threading Technology --



Made by Intel.



Makes one CPU act like two separate CPUs.



Can add 15% - 30% performance.



Must be supported on the OS. Windows XP or higher supports Hyper Threading.

Virtualization

Running other operating systems off the same hardware.

VT

Intel's Virtualization Technology

AMD-V

AMD Virtualization

Data width

A measurement that determines computer system performance. It is either 32bit or 64bit. The CPU can have one width while the data busses have another.



Software must be optimized to run on 64bit systems.

GPU

Graphical Processing Unit



It is common to have a GPU on die in a CPU, but it's not as fast as a separate adapter.

NX bit

No eXecute bit.


Also called the eXecute Disable (XD) bit by Intel.


Also called the Enhanced Virus Protection by AMD.



Designates section of code as unable to execute.



Must be supported by the OS.

DEP

Data Execution Prevention --



Windows OS support of NX bit

Fan Specs

Standard sizes:


80mm


120mm


200mm



Variable speeds



Variable noise level.
