Why is it a good thing? That's because in the past, after Intel switched to contact interface, although there were no pins that were easy to break on the CPU, which looked very user-friendly, it meant that more pins needed to be installed in the corresponding motherboard CPU slots, which was equivalent to Intel passing the risk on to the motherboard manufacturer. Believe me, no matter in the process of manual or logistics transportation, the contact groove is definitely easier to break than the one with pins. The pins of LGA slots I have seen are damaged everywhere, and I have to go to the factory for maintenance, which has brought a lot of consumption to consumers and motherboard manufacturers. Therefore, there are detailed CPU installation instructions from manufacturers on Intel motherboards now, for fear that more people will damage the slots.
AMD has always insisted on using pin CPU, so the damage rate of the corresponding CPU slot is extremely low. Although the pins on the CPU look fragile, they are not easy to be really damaged. We can completely break some bent stitches manually, even if some stitches are broken, it is no problem to find a professional merchant to weld them, and there is no need to return to the factory.
There is no doubt that AMD's approach has been favored by many consumers and motherboard manufacturers, so AMD motherboards are often sold cheaper. However, with deep pockets, Intel occupies an absolute position in the CPU market. Even in order to transfer the CPU repair rate to the motherboard, those motherboard manufacturers can only submit to humiliation. After all, Intel's CPU and motherboard sales are much larger than AMD's, and AMD will not cancel the pin interface for a long time to come.
