Package Mechanical Specifications
The processor is packaged in a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array package that interfaces with 
the motherboard via the LGA1156 socket. The package consists of a processor 
mounted on a substrate land-carrier. An integrated heat spreader (IHS) is attached to 
the package substrate and core and serves as the mating surface for processor thermal 
solutions, such as a heatsink. 
 shows a sketch of the processor package 
components and how they are assembled together. Refer to 
 
for complete details on the LGA1156 socket.
The package components shown in 
1. Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)
2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
3. Processor core (die)
4. Package substrate
5. Capacitors
Note:
1.
Socket and motherboard are included for reference and are not part of processor package.
