Processor Package

The Pentium 4 processor is packaged in a 775–land LGA package that interfaces with the

motherboard via a LGA775 socket. Refer to the processor

datasheet for detailed mechanical

specifications.

The processor connects to the motherboard through a land grid array (LGA) surface mount

socket. The socket contains 775 contacts arrayed about a cavity in the center of the socket with

solder balls for surface mounting to the motherboard. The socket is named LGA775 socket. A

description of the socket can be found in the

LGA775 Socket Mechanical Design Guide

The package includes an integrated heat spreader (IHS) that is shown in Figure 1 for illustration

only. Refer to the processor datasheet for further information. In case of conflict, the package

dimensions in the processor datasheet supersedes dimensions provided in this document.
