Socket T
Socket T, also known as LGA 775, is Intel's latest CPU socket. LGA stands for Land Grid Array, which means that the pins are on the motherboard, not the processor. The Prescott is the only processor to use the LGA 775 socket type, for now. Intel changed from Socket 478 to LGA 775 because Intel plans to offer a Front side bus of 1066 MHz. The 'T' in Socket T was derived from the now cancelled Tejas core, which was to replace the Prescott core. Severe heat dissipation issues are the reason why development on Tejas was halted.
