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.

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 ...

Ball or Pin CPU sockets come in two major types -- ball-grid array and pin-grid array. PGA sockets look like a checkerboard with lots of squares.

While Intel’s LGA design places the pins in the motherboard socket, AMD’s Pin Grid Array design features a dense grid of pins that connects the CPU to the motherboard elecrtically.

ASRock's X670E Taichi jams in about everything you'd want from an AMD AM5 motherboard for years to come. Just be sure that this big E-ATX board fits in your case—and your budget.

To get away without drilling, [Howard] figured, that all he needs to do is leave out the pin headers and mount these modules board-to-board, using what could be best described as a BGA (blob grid ...

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.

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.
