What is a PGA socket?

PGA Sockets A pin grid array (PGA) socket is the integrated circuit packaging standard used in most second- through fifth-generation processors. These sockets are either rectangular or square, with pins arranged in a regular array on the underside of the package.

What is a PGA device?

A pin grid array (PGA) is a type of integrated circuit packaging. The pins are commonly spaced 2.54 mm (0.1″) apart, and may or may not cover the entire underside of the package. PGAs are often mounted on printed circuit boards using the through hole method or inserted into a socket.

What is PGA socket and LGA socket?

LGA and PGA can be understood as opposites. “Land grid array” (LGA) consists of a socket with pins that you place the processor on. PGA (“pin grid array”), on the other hand, places the pins on the processor, which you then insert into a socket with appropriately placed holes.

What is PGA microprocessor?

Short for pin grid array, PGA is a chip where the connecting pins are on the bottom. The image shows the bottom of the processor chip with many pins that plug into a socket on a circuit board.

Who uses GCQuad?

These impressive additions earned GCQuad a Golf Digest Editor’s Choice Award for three consecutive years. And it’s come to be trusted by PGA professionals and tour pros such as Rickie Fowler and Francesco Molinari. Turn on the Golf Channel and you’ll see Martin Hall using a GCQuad in his demonstrations.

What is PGA in networking?

)(1) Short for pin grid array, a type of chip package in which the connecting pins are located on the bottom in concentric squares. PGA chips are particularly good for chips that have many pins, such as modern microprocessors.

Which is better LGA or PGA?

PGA has the pins on the CPU, therefore the mainboard is more durable on PGA. LGA has the pins on the mainboard, therefore the CPU is more durable on LGA. PGA is easier to install, as the pins tend to be thicker (more durable) LGA is easier to uninstall, since the CPU can stick with the cooler on PGA.

Does AMD use LGA or PGA?

Well, it depends. As of 2021, AMD’s mainstream Ryzen CPUs are PGA, while its HEDT lineup (Threadripper) is LGA.
