Pentium

Introduced on March 22, 1993, the original Pentium was the first superscalar x86 architecture microprocessor. Its fifth-generation x86 microarchitecture was a direct extension of the 80486 architecture with dual integer pipeline s, a faster FPU unit, wider data bus, and features for further reduced address calculation latency....

The Pentium OverDrive was a microprocessor marketing brand name used by Intel, to cover a variety of consumer upgrade products sold in the mid 1990s....
 and Pentium MMX processors. Consisting of 320 pins, Core Voltage 3.3V, this was the first socket to use a staggered pin grid array, or SPGA. This design allowed the chip's pins to be spaced closer together. Socket 5 was replaced by Socket 7
Socket 7

Socket 7 is a physical and electrical specification for an x86-style Central processing unit socket on a personal computer motherboard. The socket supersedes the earlier Socket 5, and accepts Pentium microprocessors manufactured by Intel, as well as compatibles made by Cyrix/IBM, AMD, Integrated Device Technology and others....
