Socket 423 was a CPU socket used for the first Pentium 4 processors, based on the Willamette core. The socket was short-lived, as it became apparent that its electrical design proved inadequate for raising clock speed beyond 2.0 GHz. Intel produced chips using this socket for less than a year, from November 2000 to August 2001. It was replaced by Socket 478.

The "PowerLeap PL-P4/N" is a device developed in the form of a socket adapter allowing the use of socket 478 processors on the socket 423.
