What's the difference between PPGA and FC-PGA?

[Gription]

Is there one?

 

[Wuming]

Well,

FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array)is Intels Flip-Chip technology, where they flip the core to face up, closer to the HSF unit.

I believe the older PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array...I think) was/is not this advanced, and prone to heat more!

Hope this helps pal

PPGA was only on celerons and is .25 micron

fcpga started with the P3, and is now on the celeron. and it's .18 micron.

AMD's Thunderbirds and Durons also adopted the flip-chip design.

Great! Thanks!

don't forget that fcpga is more fragile.
