Notebook processor
Exactly as within the Desktop range in regular intervals in the Notebook market new card locations for the processors are developed, since the again developed processors were modified frequently also in their architecture and in their structure. So for example an owner of a Pentium 3-system can build only Celeron and Pentium 3-processors into its computer. It if the achievement is not sufficient any longer and if it would like to fall back now to the achievement potential of a Pentium 4, it must equal a new Main board along-buy, there the Pentium 4 not on the card location of the Pentium III (Socket 370) fits oneself.
If the owners of a Desktop PC are not already troubled enough, then a Notebookbesitzer has it still many more heavily. In the Desktop segment it gives usually at the most a new card location for a processor generation (for example Pentium 1 = Socket 7 or Athlon = Socket A), whereby this is generation-spreading frequently still. With Notebookprozessoren is this different. Since these processors are used in the most different ranges, these must correspond also to the most diverse requirements. In the small Subnotebooks the mobile CPUs must to be extremely currentsaving and be allowed only little warmth to deliver. With the larger Desktop Replacement systems, which than substitution conventional Desktop PC are meant, these characteristics are less important, so that the requirements are not completely so high to the mobile CCU. In order to become fair the different requirements, there are directly several processor card locations in a generation, so that one must exactly know as owners of a Notebooks about its processor, if one liked to rig its Notebook.
And it would be not already unclear enough, gives it numerous Notebooks those a conventional Desktop processor it own to only call can. The advantage however is that one has a large selection of processors, since one can select oneself any processor from the same generation.
Different card locations
MMC1 and MMC2. One can compare mobile processors in form of the MMC1- and MMC2-Bauweise with the Slot 1 and Slot A processors from the Desktop range. Also with the mini Cartride MMC1 and MMC2 is the processor on a plate, which is put again on the Main board. If one is not been versed well with computer hardware and one saw still no picture of such a building method, one can survey the processor in its Notebook smooth, since this building method does not have the optics of a typical processor. Nevertheless this variant was blocked very frequently in combination with a Pentium 2, a Celeron to 750 MHz and a Pentium III to 900 MHz.
BGA
BGA stands for Ball Grid Array. BGA processors are particularly narrow and are suitable therefore particularly for the employment in flat Notebooks. Like the name possesses a BGA processor on the lower surface already does not say pins, but small "Baellchen" and/or. "balls". Therefore one cannot operate such processors in a Desktop system, which one can make with numerous Notebookprozessoren. Mobile Pentium 2 processors was offered for example in this kind of manufacture.
BGA2
BGA2. To its predecessor easily modified building method represents the BGA2. With the introduction of the mobile Pentium iii-processors this processor card location came only so correctly to mode. It possesses 495 balls. Mobile Celeron processors in the clock rates 400 to 850 and mobile Pentium III processors from 400 to 1000 MHz there were in this design.
Micro PGA2
µPGA2 stands for Micro Plastic Grid Array and possesses normal pins as contacts to the Main board. This card location differs not much from the µBGA. Lastly only ball possesses instead of pin. The pins with a µPGA processor are 1.25 mm long and 0.30 mm in the diameter. Micro PGA2 was offered as alternative for the BGA2. Therefore there were also the same processors, which supported this card location, thus mobile Celeron processors in the clock rates 400 to 850 and mobile Pentium III processors from 400 to 1000 MHz.
Micro FCPGA
µFCPGA (Micro Flip chip plastic array). With the introduction of the mobile Pentium 4 m-processors the Micro FCPGA card location was published also for the first time. Altogether 478 pins make the connection to the Motherboard. The pins has a length of 2.03 mm and a diameter of 0.32 mm. Only mobile Pentium 4 M processors supports this processor card location. One can operate mobile Pentium 4 processors also in conventional Desktop systems. The only Vorraussetzung for it is a Main board with a base 478 card location, which modern Main boards can however usually show. Only the first Pentium 4 processors (1300 to 1900 MHz) was conceived still for the base 423.
Micro FCBGA
µFCBGA means Micro Flip Chip Ball Array. Like already with the card locations BGA2 and Micro PGA differ µFCPGA and µFCBGA particularly in the contacts. The µFCBGA possesses here again small balls and cannot thus not in Desktop systems be operated. Altogether a CCU in the µFCBGA Design possesses 479 balls, which have a diameter of 0.78 mm. Mobile Celeron with Tualatin-(650 to 1300) and Northwood core (1400 to 2200) as well as the Pentium m processors from the Centrino technology is manufactured in the µFCBGA Design.
