zero insertion force
Zero insertion force (ZIF) is a type of IC socket or electrical connector that requires very little (but not literally zero) force for insertion. With a ZIF socket, before the IC is inserted, a lever or slider on the side of the socket is mo ...

server processors, AMD introduced the
SP3 socket. The SP3 socket covered three generations of Epyc processors, including Naples, Rome and Milan. AMD's Genoa processors contain up to 96 Zen 4 cores compared to Milan's maximum of 64 cores. In support of Genoa's 96 cores, AMD introduced the SP5 socket with 2002 more contact pins than the SP3 socket to provide greater power delivery and signal integrity. SP5 can provide a peak power of up to 700W.
The SP5 socket will support future Epyc processors, codenamed Bergamo, which has up to 128
Zen 4c cores and are set to debut in the first half of 2023. Additionally, some Bergamo processors will use SP5's successor, Socket SP6.
