{{Short description|CPU socket for old AMD CPUs}}
'''Socket 754''' is a [[CPU socket]] originally developed by [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD]] to supersede its [[Athlon XP]] platform ([[Socket A]], also referred to as Socket 462). Socket 754 was one of the first sockets developed by AMD to support their new 64-bit microprocessor family known as [[x86-64#AMD64|AMD64]], this time for the consumer market.

==Technical specifications==

Socket 754 was the original socket for AMD's [[Athlon 64]] desktop processors. Due to the introduction of newer socket layouts (i.e. [[Socket 939]] and [[Socket AM2]]), Socket 754 became the more "budget-minded" socket for use with AMD [[Athlon 64]] or [[Sempron]] processors. It differs from [[Socket 939]] in several areas:
* support for a single channel [[memory controller]] (64 bits wide) with a maximum of three unbuffered [[DIMM]]s, or four registered DIMMs
* no dual channel support
* lower [[HyperTransport]] speed (800&nbsp;MHz Bi-Directional, 16 bit data path, up and downstream)
* lower effective data bandwidth (9.6 GB/s)
* lower motherboard manufacturing costs

Although AMD promoted Socket 754 as a budget platform on the desktop and encouraged mid- and high-end users to use newer platforms, Socket 754 remained for some time as AMD's high-end solution for mobile applications (e.g. the HP zv6000 series). However in 2006, [[Socket S1]] was released and superseded Socket 754 in the mobile CPU segment, with support for dual-core CPUs and DDR2 SDRAM.

== Heatsink ==
The 2 holes for fastening the heatsink to the motherboard are placed at a distance of 90 mm.

==Availability==

The first processors using Socket 754 came on the market in the second half of 2003. Socket 754 was phased out in favor of [[Socket 939]] on desktops because of low sales. The socket remained in use for laptops until it was replaced by [[Socket S1]] in 2006.
