sockets). Socket G2 CPUs are also known as FCPGA988 socket processors, which should be pin compatible with PPGA988.
Although nearly all motherboards using this socket are intended for mobile products like laptops, a few desktop boards using this do exist.
Supermicro, for example, produced a number of
mini ITX motherboards using the QM77 chipset.
Technical specifications
* Pins arranged in a 35×36 grid array (it is incompatible with G1 socket due to different placing of one pin)
* 18×15 size grid removed from the center
* Utilization of cam-actuated retention mechanism
* The ''r'' in rPGA refers to ''reduced pitch'' which is 1mm × 1mm in this socket design.
