Detailed explanation-1: -Common types of CPU sockets include the Pin Grid Array (PGA) and the Land Grid Array (LGA). The difference between the two is that PGA places the pins on the processor and the holes in the socket, whereas LGA has a socket with pins that you place the processor on.
Detailed explanation-2: -A (land grid array) socket has blunt protruding pins on the socket that connect with lands or pads on the bottom of the processor.
Detailed explanation-3: -All recent socketed motherboards have a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. As its name implies, the ZIF socket allows a chip with hundreds of pins to be seated easily.
Detailed explanation-4: -For chips with many pins, zero insertion force (ZIF) sockets are preferred. Common sockets include Pin Grid Array (PGA) or Land Grid Array (LGA). These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (PGA type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place.
