{{Short description|CPU socket for old AMD CPUs}}
'''Socket 940''' is a 940-pin socket for 64-bit [[AMD]] [[Opteron]] server processors and AMD [[Athlon 64|Athlon 64 FX]] consumer processors. It was one of the first sockets designed for AMD's [[AMD64]] range of processors.

This socket is entirely square in shape and pins are arranged in a grid with the exception of four key pins used to align the processor and the corners. AMD's [[Opteron]] and the older AMD [[Athlon 64|Athlon 64 FX]] ([[FX-51]]) use Socket 940.
