Form Factor And Compatibility

Mobile Athlon 4 will come in two different form factors. One of the two is the well-known SocketA form factor, as shown in the pictures above. AMD claims that Mobile Athlon 4 cannot be operated in a normal SocketA motherboard, although Mobile Athlon 4 for SocketA has got the same mechanical dimensions and pin count as previous SocketA processors.
