 Slot 1 was introduced in May 1997 and served as Intel's successor to Socket 7 and
brought the P6 architecture to the home market. CPUs come in a cartridge which contains
the CPU chip, cache chips and a cache controller. Later CPUs like Celeron "Mendocino" have
on-die cache and thus the cartridge became unnecessary and so Slot 1 was replaced with
Socket 370.

Introduced in January 1999, Socket 370 was originally made as a budget CPU socket.
Later it became Intel's main CPU Socket until the release of the Pentium 4, after which it
moved to the budget end of the market again before being phased out altogether.
