CAMBRIDGE, UK — Following up on the availability of Intel's Core-i7 Mobile quad-core processors, Suyin has launched a reversed pin grid array socket (rPGA-989) suitable for automatic assembly. The ...

CPU sockets come in two major types -- ball-grid array and pin-grid array. PGA sockets look like a checkerboard with lots of squares. They are designed to hold a CPU chip with an array of pins ...

Frenchtown, N.J. – Aries Electronics has broadened its line of pin-grid-array zero-insertion-force (ZIF) Test Sockets with a 9 x 9-grid version. The units enable just one socket to handle a full range ...

Finally, no more bent pinsOn its previous sockets, AMD has used a Pin Grid Array (PGA) layout, where the pins are on the CPU rather than the motherboard. Intel has stuck with a Land Grid Array ...

AMD's upcoming Zen CPUs and new AM4 socket are closer and closer to being revealed, and now we have leaked shots of the PGA (Pin Grid Array) design which looks to have 1331 pins - just 6 short of ...

The first image of AMD's upcoming Socket AM4, the new single platform for its Bristol Ridge and Zen CPU and APU products, has been leaked, revealing a pin-grid array (PGA) design with 1,331 pin ...

And now we learn that the Socket AM5, like Intel's, will be moving to Land Grid Array (or LGA) from the current Pin Grid Array (or PGA) packaging.

Unlike the Ryzen AM4 which uses a pin-grid array, the new TR4 socket uses land grid array and mounts by sliding into the socket. This socket TR4 is the exact same size as the socket SP3 that will ...

With socket AM5, AMD is switching from a PGA (pin grid array) socket to an LGA (land grid array) socket. LGA sockets support more pins, and AM5 comes with 1,718 of them.

AMD also says its decision to move from a PGA (pin grid array) to an LGA (land grid array) socket design was made to accommodate the pin density requirements of PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 RAM.
