hardware, processor (FC-PGA) The package of certain
Intel Celeron and
Pentium III processors. FC-PGA processors fit into
Socket 370 motherboard sockets.
The Flip Chip
Pin Grid Array is similar to
PPGA, except that the
silicon core is facing up and the
heat slug is exposed.
FC-PGA packaging is used by Pentium III processors, and Celeron 566 processors onward. Earlier Celeron processors used
PPGA packaging.
Celeron processors are also available in
Slot 1 SEPP packaging and Pentium III processors in Slot 1 SECC2 packaging.
Adapters are available to allow a PPGA Celeron to plug into a Slot 1 connector.
