Yes, it's well known overclocker's mod to use these tools to shorten the pins and extract more performance from the CPU. You should try it.
No, it would only make the pins shorter.
no pins = no latency
it should be connected like sim card
this is why modern cpus don't use pins
>Inserting pins into CPU socket
Masculine, sovl
>Setting your CPU over a delicate bed off springy awkward pins
Feminine, soulless
Look what they took from us
We still have the bracket that you clip heatsinks to, even if most coolers require you to remove it.
There's still a little bit of sovl left, even with AM5.
why is there no quantum liquid connections so u just put all the pins in a pool and use modulation for each gate with precursor tech to know what it wants to send wehre
very, very sightly
In this case, no.
The contacts don't touch the very ends of the pins but rather the sides.
The data already travels at the speed of light, making them a mm shorter will make no noticeable difference.
1. it's not quite the speed of light, though it's a large chunk of it
2. at the speeds of modern computers wire length is actually pretty important, like you ever wonder why some boards have squiggly traces? that's to properly match up trace lengths. no joke
>properly match up trace length
Would be hilarious if some signal reaches nodes faster than others causing the CPU to frick up every once in a while
Not only that but the angle at which lines are bent is also important

>there are no 90 degree angle bends because the electrons slam into the wall
It's not wrong
it's a lot like water flowing through a channel/pipe, too sharp a turn causes disturbances and reflections in the flow
However its useful in case of water flow as a form of "braking" of the water flow/pressure. Particularly as a means to reduce backward flow where you know pressure would build up but you want to reduce the pressure so that it doesnt reach critical levels.
If your cpu is 4GHz, light travels less than 3 inches in a clock cycle
....wait is this relevant?
Not to the length of the CPU pins, no.
only for 0,000000000000001 Blacksecond
still more than a jannysecond
For you.
Threadripper and Xeon installation where you slide the CPU into the retention mechanism and then lock it in, with a two step process, is so based
They should do that for all cpus
The diameter an length of the pins probably have more to do with current carrying capacity.
that would be extremely painful
For cpU
What CPU even uses them anymore now that AM5 has the pins on the motherboard?
AM4 is still around.
Even though they're releasing new stuff it's probably not going to have something like pin length changed.
speed of light is known, anon and working the math is basic 1st/2nd grade stuff.
light travels 299,800,000 meter per second.
this is 2.998 billion cm per second.
Or, 29.98 billion millimeter per second.
A nanosecond is a billionth of a second.
Shortening a pin 1 millimeter reduces latency by 1/29.98 = 0.033 nanosecond
It's fricking worthless
