Just out of genuine curiousity, what was the first chip to move from pins on the cpu to pins on the mobo?

Intel wise was it not the P4 Prescotts
Yes was the P4 prescotts back in 2004
Intel named them 5xx to differentiate them from the socket 478 chips.
This was the first time intel didn't use the clock speed in the name.
The new chipsets 915 and 925 had pci express and not AGP.
So a few firsts,the beginning of PCI E and the beginning of the end for AGP.
The new socket 775 boards also supported DDR 2.
