"Socket" is what you call the frame the processor is seated on. There's "socket A processors" for example, maybe that is what you mean. They perform the same task as any other processor, they just happen to fit on a normed socket called "socket A". A socket has no processor of its own, it just connects the CPU to the motherboard.
That would go on a socket-7 motherboard. Socket-7 is the same platform as what was used for the original Pentium processor. That was out around the time that Windows 95 and Windows 98 were popular.
Socket 8
An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM".

The connector that interfaces between the motherboard and the processor is called the CPU socket. This socket serves as a physical and electrical interface, allowing the processor to communicate with the motherboard and other components. Different CPU sockets are designed for specific processor architectures, ensuring compatibility between the motherboard and the CPU. Examples of popular CPU socket types include LGA (Land Grid Array) and PGA (Pin Grid Array).
The processor socket is both a technical convention and functional component. As a convention Socket # such as 775 and 1150 regard motherboard chip type compatibility. The functional aspects of the socket serve as the electrical interface between the motherboard (and its peripherals) to the processor itself.
Socket 478 was the only widespread name for this processor socket.
3.0 GHz Pentium 4s were manufactured for both Socket 478 and LGA775.
I7 Processors use socket LGA775.
