OVERDRIVE® PROCESSOR SOCKET SPECIFICATION

17.2.2.3.

SOCKET 8 CLIP ATTACHMENT TABS

Standardized clip attachment tabs will be provided on Socket 8. These will allow clips to secure
the OverDrive processor to the socket to enhance shock and vibration protection. OEMs may
utilize the attachment tabs for their own thermal solutions. As an option, OEMs may use cus-
tomized attachment features providing that the additional features do not interfere with the stan-
dard tabs used by the upgrade. 

Details of the clip attachment tabs and overall dimensions of Intel qualified sockets may be ob-
tained from participating socket suppliers.
