Why are CPU pins so fragile and why haven’t they been designed to make the pins hard to deform?
In: Technology
I can’t speak for AMD processors but Intel has fully transitioned from Pin Grid Array (PGA) to a Land Grid Array (LGA) which has the pins on the CPU socket instead of the processor.
Smaller chips like GDDR for video cards uses a Ball Grid Array (BGA) which is a series of tiny, rounded ball pins.
