Closeup of the pins of a pin grid array The pin grid array at the bottom of prototype Motorola 68020 microprocessor The pin grid array on the bottom of an AMD Phenom X4 9750 processor that uses the AMD AM2+ socket. A pin grid array (PGA) is a type of integrated circuit packaging. In a PGA, the package is square or rectangular, and the pins are ...
CPUs with a PGA (pin grid array) package are inserted into the socket and, if included, the latch is closed. CPUs with an LGA (land grid array) package are inserted into the socket, the latch plate is flipped into position atop the CPU, and the lever is lowered and locked into place, pressing the CPU's contacts firmly against the socket's lands ...
Socket A (also known as Socket 462) is a zero insertion force pin grid array (PGA) CPU socket used for AMD processors ranging from the Athlon Thunderbird to the Athlon XP/MP 3200+, and AMD budget processors including the Duron and Sempron. Socket A also supports AMD Geode NX embedded processors (derived from the Mobile Athlon XP).
It is the last pin grid array socket for AMD's mobile processors - all mobile processors in microarchitectures succeeding Piledriver are exclusively available in BGA packaging, for example Steamroller-based mobile processors uses Socket FP3 socket, which is a μBGA socket. Intel also adopted same practice, starting with Broadwell microarchitecture.
Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) is a zero insertion force flip-chip land grid array (LGA) [1] CPU socket designed by AMD that is used for AMD Ryzen microprocessors starting with the Zen 4 microarchitecture. [2] [3] AM5 was launched in September 2022 and is the successor to AM4. [4] The Ryzen 7000 series processors were the first AM5 processors.
Socket SP3 is a zero insertion force land grid array CPU socket designed by AMD supporting its Zen-, Zen 2- and Zen 3-based Epyc server processors, [1] [2] launched on June 20, 2017. [3] Because the socket is physically the same size as socket TR4 and socket sTRX4 , users can use CPU coolers not only designed for SP3, but also coolers designed ...
AMD Opteron 8378 (Socket F) The socket has 1207 pins on a 1.1mm pitch and employs a land grid array contact mechanism. [2]Socket F is primarily for use in AMD's server line and is considered to be in the same socket generation as Socket AM2, which is used for the Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2; as well as Socket S1, which is used for Turion 64 and Turion 64 X2 microprocessors.
Socket G34 is a land grid array CPU socket designed by AMD to support AMD's multi-chip module Opteron 6000-series server processors. G34 was launched on March 29, 2010, alongside the initial grouping of Opteron 6100 processors designed for it.
