|
Slot2 is essentially a 330-pin version of the Slot 12 interface, designed for the Xeon processors. The most effective difference between Slot1 and Slot2, though, is that the Slot2 design allows the CPU to communicate with the L2 cache at the CPU's full clock speed. In contrast, Slot1 only supports communication between the L2 cache and CPU at half the CPU's clock speed. |
