Socket 370 is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for 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.
This platform is not wholly obsolete, but its use is today limited to the above specialty applications, having been superseded by Socket A (462 pins for Athlon) and Socket 754/939/940 (for Athlon 64 and Opteron) on the AMD side and Socket 423/478 (for Pentium 4) on the Intel side.
