    LGA stands for?

    Explanation
    LGA stands for Land Grid Array, which refers to a type of packaging technology used for integrated circuits. It involves an array of pins or pads on the surface of a microprocessor, which are used for connecting it to a printed circuit board (PCB). LGA provides a more reliable and efficient way of connecting the microprocessor to the PCB, compared to other packaging technologies. It is commonly used in computer processors and other high-performance electronic devices.

    Which of the following is a Intel socket?

    • LGA 775

    • AMD2

    • AMD2+

    • FMI

    Correct Answer
    A. LGA 775
    Explanation
    LGA 775 is a correct answer because it is an Intel socket. LGA stands for Land Grid Array, which is a type of CPU socket used by Intel processors. The number 775 refers to the number of pins on the socket. This socket was commonly used for Intel processors in the mid-2000s, such as the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad series. AMD2 and AMD2+ are incorrect answers because they are sockets used by AMD processors, not Intel. FMI is not a recognized socket for either Intel or AMD processors.
