Socket 940

The base 940 is a processor socket for AMD's server processor series AMD Opteron and for the first two Athlon 64 FX processors FX -51 and FX- 53rd

Socket 940 was the first socket for AMD K8 processors. With it HyperTransport is a point -to-point protocol for the connection processor introduced.

Socket 940 is provided for servers, workstations and high -end PCs and offers a dual-channel memory interface for Registered DDR SDRAM with optional ECC. For entry-level and mid-range PCs based on AMD processors, the Socket was 754 ( single channel memory interface ) and socket provided 939 ( dual-channel memory interface ). The Athlon FX series was also introduced from the FX- 55 Socket 939, Socket 940 thereby became the exclusive Opteron socket.

With the introduction of the new Opteron E stepping on February 14, 2005, the HyperTransport link has been increased from 800 to 1000 MHz, but this can only be used with the appropriate processors and a matching motherboard chipset.

The base 940 was replaced by the mid-2006 Socket F as a standard base for all Opteron processors (except the Opteron 1xx series ).
