PGA has the pins on the CPU, therefore the mainboard is more durable on PGA LGA has the pins on the mainboard, therefore the CPU is more durable on LGA PGA is easier to install, as the pins tend to be thicker (more durable) LGA is easier to uninstall, since the CPU can stick with the cooler on PGA Since the PGA pins are more durable, it is ...

Nov 18, 2016 · Another good point would be that PGA is AMD and LGA is Intel. This input is only given because for some reason someone gave you a downvote, even though your answer is correct. – DrZoo

PGA has more contact surface than LGA so you need fewer pins for power delivery. You can fit more LGA on a socket, so once your memory channels and PCI-e lanes go up, LGA is easier. PGA also keeps the mainboard vendors happy as the RMA rate for the CPU connection is not an issue for the mainboard vendors with PGA. (Unlike LGA)

Aug 29, 2015 · LGA is Land Grid Array. PGA is Pin Grid Array. BGA is Ball Grid Array. LGA is what you're going to get right now. The CPU has metal contacts flush on the surface, pins in the socket. PGA is the other way around. The pins are on the chip. BGA is for CPUs that will be soldered into place (think laptops and consoles).

Oct 16, 2018 · lga motherboards costs a lot more for the oem to build, intel has more contractual power to impose these costs even on cheaper models (thus reducing oem profits), amd need to keep them happy so they get the increased cost on the cpu side.

Oct 20, 2021 · For high pin counts LGA is more convenient. Functionality is the same. There's nothing proprietary about it It's more of a traditional thing that AMD has kept using PGA on their AMx platforms while Intel uses LGA. AMD is already using LGA for Threadripper and Epyc, and will abandon PGA completely when they launch AM5 with LGA next year

Mar 27, 2023 · Less hassle with returns and bent pins and warranties and etc etc means better dividends for me. You make investments into companies, the last thing you want is for the consumers to easily run into issues where the product can be damaged. Going LGA put more of the burden onto the board manufacturers.

May 20, 2024 · What a great weekend of golf and great entertainment. I’m hoping the PGA and LIV can iron out the differences and figure out a way to make the golf world hole. For anyone still wondering why anyone would take the money Xander won just over 3 million from the PGA Championship. Bryson signed a 4.5 year deal for 125 million.
