The Socket S1 is a processor socket for AMD processors series Turion 64 , Turion 64 X2 and Turion X2 .

With the S1 socket, AMD introduced the DDR2 memory interface for modules with speeds up to PC2-6400 (DDR2-800 memory chips) and support for the AMD-V virtualization technology . It will also support DDR3 memory controllers at a later date.

The processors for this socket were initially produced using the 90 nm process; sales of processors using 65 nm technology began in spring 2007.

In addition, AMD processors in the 45 nm process will be sold from the end of 2009; these will be sold as Sempron M1xx, Athlon II X2 M3xx, Turion II X2 M5xx and Turion II X2 Ultra.

The S1 socket is the successor to the 754 socket in the mobile sector.
