Socket G2, also known as rPGA 988B (there are Socket G/rPGA 989 sockets that can take Socket G2/rPGA 988B), is Intel's CPU socket used with their line of mobile Core i7, the successor to the Core 2 line, and also with several mobile Core i5 and Core i3 processors. It is based on Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture. Its predecessor, socket G1 systems, can only run in dual-channel memory mode, as opposed to the triple-channel mode which is unique to the LGA-1366 platform (and subsequent Xeon sockets). They are also known as FCPGA988 socket processors.

Technical specifications

  • Pins arranged in a 35 × 36 grid array (it is not compatible 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.[2]
