G2 processors which use socket 988 A or B.

 

Does that this imply any 988 (A or B) socket processor can fit on either 988A or 988B and work

Basically you need to contact the system manufacturer so they can provide you a list of fully supported processors for your system.

Keep in mind that the compatibility between the processor and the motherboard / laptop system is determined by the motherboard / laptop system manufacturer.

PGA988A is a socket G1. PGA988B is a socket G2. These sockets are not compatible with each other.

Ok i get it! 988 A and 988B are not compatible.

But recently i put a 989 socket processor on my 988B notebook and it worked.

In other words i am looking for a list of processors compatible with 988B socket
