LGA 4094

LGA 4094 is a type of CPU socket used by Intel for its high-end desktop (HEDT) and server processors, specifically those belonging to the Skylake-X, Cascade Lake-X, and Cooper Lake families. "LGA" stands for Land Grid Array, a type of integrated circuit socket that uses a flat surface with many contact pins (lands) to connect the processor to the motherboard. In the case of LGA 4094, there are 4094 individual pins on the socket that interface with corresponding pads on the underside of the CPU.

This socket is primarily associated with Intel's Xeon Scalable and Core X-series processors designed for workstations, servers, and high-performance computing applications. These processors typically feature a high core count, large cache sizes, and support for multi-channel memory, necessitating the large number of pins for robust power delivery and data transfer.

Compared to other CPU sockets, LGA 4094 is physically larger, reflecting the increased complexity and capabilities of the processors it supports. Motherboards with LGA 4094 sockets often require specialized cooling solutions and power supplies to handle the high thermal output and power consumption of these processors.
