What is socket type in processor?

In computer hardware, a CPU socket or CPU slot contains one or more mechanical components providing mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). Common sockets include Pin Grid Array (PGA) or Land Grid Array (LGA).

Which brand of processor can fit in a sTRX4 socket?

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.

What socket does an i7 use?

Is the Threadripper good for gaming?

Beginning with Zen 2, Threadripper processors are great for gaming. They match, and often exceed, Ryzen chips in single core performance while of course obliterating them in multi-core performance too, as well as everything Intel produces. Threadripper essentially has no weakness and is HEDT done right IMO.

Is there a 5000 series Threadripper?

Reputedly, AMD has cancelled all non-PRO Threadripper 5000 series processors. If that is the case, then the 5945WX, 5955WX, 5965WX, 5975WX and 5995WX may be the only High-End Desktop (HEDT) processors that AMD releases this generation.

Is LGA better than PGA?

In my personal opinion, LGA based CPUs are superior to PGA. A damage to pins on a CPU can be more expensive than damage to the pins on a motherboard. A CPUs is often twice, if not multiple times, as expensive as the motherboard. I would rather have less durable motherboard than a less durable CPU.

Is AMD switching to LGA?

According to a tweet from Executable Fix, a well-known leaker, AMD will finally move away from PGA to LGA with the shift to AM5, the new socket set to replace AM4. They say the new socket design will be LGA-1718—the number representing the number of pins required for the package.

What is the FS1 socket used for?

FS1 is a mobile socket for AMD Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) from Sabine platform. All processors for Sabine platform are built on 32nm “Llano” core, and incorporate 2 or 4 CPU cores, and a graphics processing unit.

When did the first FS1 processor come out?

The socket, along with the first mobile “Llano” APUs, were launched in June 2011, and slightly faster version of “Llano” processors were introduced in December of the same year. In the middle of 2012 the FS1 was superceded by the second revision of the same socket, called FS1r2.

What is the difference between the FS1 and FS1r2?

In the middle of 2012 the FS1 was superceded by the second revision of the same socket, called FS1r2. Despite of similar name and the same pin layout, the original FS1 is not compatible with newer processors, designed for socket FS1r2.

What is the TDP of a FS1?

The first revision of socket FS1 supports dual- and quad-core mobile processors with integrated graphics, with up to 2.2 GHz clock speed, and 35 Watt and 45 Watt TDP. The FS1 works with dual-channel DDR3 memory with data rates up 1600 MHz, and low voltage DDR3 memory with data rates up to 1333 MHz.
