Microprocessor socket

Socket 6 Type ZIF Chip form factors PPGA Contacts 235 FSB protocol ? FSB frequency 60–66 MT/s Voltage range 3.3 V Processors Intel 486 Predecessor Socket 3 This article is part of the CPU socket series

**Socket 6** was a [486](/source/Intel_i486)-generation [CPU socket](/source/CPU_socket), a slightly modified version of the more common [Socket 3](/source/Socket_3). It was used in a few motherboards.

[Intel](/source/Intel_Corporation) designed this new standard near the end of the 80486's market life, and therefore few motherboards were produced that used it, especially as the [Socket 3](/source/Socket_3) standard was already sufficient.[1]
