TheIntelSocket P (mPGA478MN) is the mobileprocessor socket replacement forCore microarchitecture chips such asCore 2 Duo.[1] It launched on May 9, 2007, as part of theSanta Rosa platform with theMerom andPenryn processors.

Thefront-side bus (FSB) of CPUs that install in Socket P can run at 400, 533, 667, 800, or 1066MT/s. By adapting the multiplier the frequency of the CPU can throttle up or down to save power, given that all Socket P CPUs supportEIST, except for Celeron that do not supportEIST. Socket P has 478 pins, but is not electrically pin-compatible withSocket M orSocket 478. Socket P is also known as a 478-pin Micro FCPGA or μFCPGA-478. On the plastic grid is printed mPGA478MN.
