What is the significance of the 423 and 478 sockets in relation to processor compatibility?

  1. They are compatible with Intel Core i7 processors

  2. They are used with Pentium 4 processors

  3. They are designed for Intel Core i5 processors

  4. They are related to AMD processors

The correct answer is: They are used with Pentium 4 processors

The significance of the 423 and 478 sockets is that they are specifically designed for use with Pentium 4 processors, which were used by Intel during the early 2000s. The other options, while referencing different types of processors such as Intel Core i7, i5, and AMD, are not directly related to the 423 and 478 sockets and therefore are not the correct answer. It is important to note that these sockets are not interchangeable with other processors, as each socket is specifically designed for a certain type of processor.
