What kind of processor does Socket 478 support?
The socket 478 supports desktop and mobile Pentium 4 and Celeron processors from 1.4 GHz to 3.46 GHz with effective front-side bus frequencies 400 MHz – 1066 MHz (100 MHz – 266 MHz QDR). This socket was phased out in favour of socket 775 (LGA775) . One major difference between the socket 478 and older sockets is the socket size.
When was Socket 478 phased out of the market?
Socket 478 was intended to be the replacement for Socket 423, a Willamette-based processor socket which was on the market for only a short time. Socket 478 was phased out with the launch of LGA 775 in 2004.
Is the Celeron D compatible with Socket 478?
Celeron D processors were also available for Socket 478 and were the last CPUs made for the socket. While the Intel mobile CPUs are available in 478-pin packages, they in fact only operate in a range of slightly differing sockets, Socket 479, Socket M, and Socket P, each incompatible with the other two.
Is there a 478 pin socket for a Pentium 4?

What’s the difference between Socket 370 and 478?
One major difference between the socket 478 and older sockets is the socket size. The distance between pin holes in socket 478 is twice smaller than the distance between pin holes in the socket 370, which was used by older Celeron, Pentium and Pentium III families, and in the socket 423 used by first generation of Pentium 4 microprocessors.
How many pins are in the mPGA478B socket?
The mPGA478B has grid size 26 x 26 with a 14 x 14 section removed from the center of the grid. Two pin-holes in one corner of the socket are plugged, so there is only one way to install the CPU. The total number of pins is (26 x 26) – (14 x 14) – 2 = 478.
