Socket 3

The base 3 was the standard socket for the Intel i486 processor. In contrast to the previous base 2 could processors for socket 3, depending on the type with 5.0 V, 3.3 V or 3.45 V processor core voltage ( Vcore ) are supplied. Often, a second base 3 has been provided to a mathematical coprocessor Intel 80487 retrofit which was absent in the variants of the SX- i486 on motherboards. In the 80487, it was actually a i486DX with other pinout, the i486SX processor has been completely shut down.

Typical chipsets for Socket 3 motherboards were:

• Intel 420 ( Saturn I / II, Aries )
• OPTi 82C495/895
• Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 85C406/461/471/49x
• United Microelectronics Corporation UM8498/888x
• VIA Technologies 82C496 (Pluto )
