Tejas processors don't have pins, toughguy. ------> "Land Grid Array"

Land Grid Array is one of the most popular package types for the Logic IC market, but also one of the most difficult to test because of its high pin count, low pitch and the need to precisely align the surface of the chip and socket, or co-planarity. Testing LGA in a more productive "open-top" socket has also been difficult.
Really, softguy?

Good news, PC enthusiasts: Intel's "Tejas" processor will do away with pins entirely, making swapping out a new processor quite literally a snap...

...Tejas uses a 775-contact pinless Land Grid Array (LGA) that far exceeds the 478 pins used on the Pentium 4, and Prescott...

WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE to count the 775 pins, rather pads, in this land grid array (LGA) Tejas processor but maybe one of our readers could take the trouble to do so. (Just kidding - it has 775).

It's just tech talk to impress.
You cite Extremetech and The Inquirer. I got my excerpt from Texas Instruments' site... one of the major players.

Now bite me! 8)
