What is a CPU socket on a motherboard?

A CPU socket on a motherboard is essentially where the CPU (central processing unit) goes when installing it into your PC configuration. This socket connects directly to your processor allowing data communication between your processor and other components such as memory modules or graphics cards inside your system case via your motherboard's buses (data lanes). Different socket types exist such as LGA 1150 or LGA 1151 which indicate particular versions of Intel processors compatible with them respectively; AMD processors use their own socket types typically labeled AM3+ or FM2+.

There are several different types of motherboards available on the market today depending on what type of computer you're building or upgrading. Standard ATX (Advanced Technology extended) motherboards are most commonly used in desktop computers while mini-ITX boards are often seen in small form-factor PCs due to their compact size. There are also microATX boards which offer good performance but occupy less space than an ATX board while still supporting multiple expansion cards and internal devices like hard drives and optical drives. Additionally, there are server class motherboards designed to support higher end applications such as servers or workstations as well as embedded boards designed for embedded systems like robots or medical equipment with more specific requirements than regular PCs have.
