Socket 370 was originally used for the Intel [[Celeron]], but later became the socket/platform for the [[Coppermine (microprocessor)|Coppermine]] and [[Pentium III#Tualatin|Tualatin]] Pentium III processors, as well as the Via-Cyrix [[Cyrix III]], later renamed the [[VIA C3]]. Some motherboards that used Socket 370 support [[Intel]] processors in dual CPU configurations. Others allowed the use of a Socket 370 or Slot 1 CPU, although not at the same time. |

Socket 370 is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron processors to replace the older Slot 1 CPU interface on personal computers. The "370" refers to the number of holes in the socket for CPU pins. Modern Socket 370 fittings are usually found on Mini-ITX motherboards and embedded systems.
Socket 370 was originally used for the Intel Celeron, but later became the socket/platform for the Coppermine and Tualatin Pentium III processors, as well as the Via-Cyrix Cyrix III, later renamed the VIA C3. Some motherboards that used Socket 370 support Intel processors in dual CPU configurations. Others allowed the use of a Socket 370 or Slot 1 CPU, although not at the same time.
This platform is not wholly obsolete, but its use is today limited to the above specialty applications, having been superseded by Socket 423/478/775 (for Pentium 4 and Core 2 processors). Via are still producing Socket 370 processors, but are increasingly migrating their processor line to ball grid array packages.
