Explanation

Socket F (also known as Socket 1207) is an AMD processor socket used for AMD Opteron server/workstation processors. AMD traditionally uses PGA (Pin Grid Array) or ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket designs where the pins are on the CPU itself, and socket names are often letters (AM4, AM5, TR4, F, etc.). LGA (Land Grid Array), socket 1366, and socket 1155 are all Intel socket types - Intel places the pins in the motherboard socket rather than on the CPU. Recognizing AMD vs. Intel socket naming conventions is a key A+ exam topic.
