LGA sockets are preferable to PGA sockets because they reduce the risk of dropping and damaging CPU pins.

“the move to an LGA rather than a PGA socket is going to have an impact it means that you'll be less likely to drop a CPU and knock a pin off of it or bend it which is good”

Repairing bent pins on a motherboard socket is generally easier than fixing damaged pins on a CPU.

“in my experience it's usually easier to repair pins on a motherboard than a CPU because there's less chance of breaking a pin off and it's less likely they'll get damaged in the first place”
