Socket 754 is a CPU socket originally developed by 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 AMD64, this time for the consumer market.

The socket 754 works with desktop processors with frequencies up to 3700+ or 2.4 GHz, and with mobile processors with frequencies up to 4000+ or 2.6 GHz. The socket supports single-channel DDR SDRAM memory controller and one 800 MHz HyperTransport link.

754-pin package / Socket 754 processors - these processors include single-channel DDR SDRAM memory controller and one 800 MHz HyperTransport link.

Socket 754, 939, and S1 processors have a memory controller integrated on the CPU die, replacing the traditional concept of FSB.

May 28, 2004 · The features and performance that you will see in this roundup should give you a better idea of what to expect in upcoming Socket 939 motherboards.

Jun 21, 2007 · I've got the Sempron in my Socket 754 board now, but it's not a good experience. I'm going to go cheapo C2D - E2140\ASRock AGP\CheapDDR2... the ASRock board will even accept normal DDR.

Socket 754 was the successor to Socket A, and was to continue AMD’s success in the CPU market with the Athlon64 and Sempron lines. It was a cut-down consumer-oriented value socket, which offered less features as compared to Socket 939/940, and was eventually wound down with Socket 939 taking its position.
