LGA stands for Land Grid Array and it is used in computer motherboards to serve as the physical interface for microprocessors. It is a type of packaging for integrated circuits in which the pins are placed on sockets, unlike other forms where the pins are connected directly to the ICs. Older forms like PGAs or pin grid arrays involve pins on the microprocessor chips.
The current socket type for Intel processors is called LGA 1151. The motherboard manufacturer will label this clearly, and in many instances it is included in the name. The current socket type for AMD is a little more complex, as some older AMD boards can support newer socket types with a few BIOS updates.
