Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A pin grid array (PGA) is the integrated circuit packaging standard used in most second-through fifth-generation processors. Pin grid array packages were either rectangular or square in shape, with pins arranged in a regular array.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -"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. In the modern computing era, Intel CPUs use LGA sockets, while AMD CPUs use PGA.

Detailed explanation-5: -PGA – Pin Grid Array Pin Grid Array is exclusively for AMD. The latest Ryzen processor also uses the PGA socket. What separates it from the LGA socket is that the contact pins are on the processor chip instead of the motherboard socket. Therefore, it is supported by processors that contact pins underneath them.
