Proc without pin

Solved
Vacilys -  
Good evening, I would like to know if it is normal for all the pins of a processor to be on the motherboard instead of the processor itself (to me, this is not normal but a Leboncoin ad has intrigued me and I bought a lot of computer equipment that has this issue).

    Good evening,

    Normal, pin on processor or socket

    Without regular feedback from you... you can always refer to Article 22 ;-)

      It is completely normal: only processors in PGA format have pins. This is the case, for example, with processors for laptops (AMD/Intel) and all processors from the AMD brand.

      In the case of Intel, there have been no pins since the release of the latest Pentium IV. LGA sockets have become widespread in many formats: LGA 775, 1150, 1155, 1156 for desktop PCs and many others for servers.

      This is well documented on wikipedia

      AMD = Pins
      Intel = no Pins

        To tease ... Uh no, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper doesn't have pins, they are LGA. :-)

        @gugu01oops.!
        AMD = 99% with Pins
        Intel = no Pins

        @flo88:-) but Intel series also have pins, it's not 100%
        Ultimately, it's really a question that shouldn't be asked, you just take a compatible processor and socket, and that's it :-)
