[edit] Technical specifications
Socket S1 is a 638 pin, low profile, ZIF, 1.27mm pitch socket.[1] It replaces the existing Socket 754 in the mobile computing segment (e.g. laptops).
Socket S1 CPUs can include support for dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM, dual-core mobile CPUs, and virtualization technology, and compete with the mobile Intel Core 2 processor series.[2]
[edit] Generations
Different generations of processors used variant pinouts of the S1 socket; processors were not necessarily compatible with a socket even if they fit mechanically. Processors designed for the later S1g2 socket would not work in an original S1, aka S1g1, socket, although older processors were compatible with the newer socket. There is also S1g3 and S1g4.
