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 ...

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 ...

Meanwhile, AMD is supposedly moving to an LGA 1718 socket with 1,718 pins. It is an interesting shift because it will be the first Zen product to move away from a pin grid array (PGA) package to a ...

The socket, as pictured above, features a PGA (Pin Grid Array) design. It is clearly labelled 'Socket AM4' and there are 1331 pins present – a significant increase on the 942 pins supported by ...

If that ends up being true, it will mark a shift from using a pin grid array (PGA) socket to a land grid array (LGA) socket, the latter of which Intel has been using for quite some time. And as ...

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 ...

The current-generation AM4 socket might've offered way more upgrade paths than its Intel counterparts, but it's very limited because of its PGA (pin grid array) socket). It means the pins are on ...

Two versions are available: the hybrid land grid array/ball grid array (LGA/BGA) and the dual compression LGA/BGA. To learn more about TE's new XLA socket technology, click here.
