Detailed explanation-1: -In PGA architecture, the pins are on the underside of the processor package and is inserted into the motherboard CPU socket using zero insertion force (ZIF). ZIF refers to the amount of force needed to install a CPU into the motherboard socket or slot.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is anticipated that the AIBC will be transitioning legislation from the Architects Act to the Professional Governance Act (PGA) by early February 2023.

Detailed explanation-4: -A pin grid array (PGA) is a type of integrated circuit packaging. In a PGA, the package is square or rectangular, and the pins are arranged in a regular array on the underside of the package. The pins are commonly spaced 2.54 mm (0.1") apart, and may or may not cover the entire underside of the package.

Detailed explanation-5: -An easy way to recall what kind of processors LGA and PGA indicate is by using their names – Land Grid Array and Pin Grid Array. LGA – Land, i.e., Flat CPU with no pins, motherboard sockets with pins. PGA – Pins, i.e., Not Flat – CPUs with pins, Motherboard sockets without pins.
