(hardware, processor)Plastic Pin Grid Array - (PPGA) The package used for certain Intel Celeron processors. PPGA processors fit into Socket 370 motherboard sockets.

The Plastic Pin Grid Array packaging is similar to that used on Pentium processors. The silicon core is covered by a heat slug that faces down toward the motherboard.

The Celeron 300A to the 533 use a PPGA package. The Celeron 566 onward use a FC-PGA package.

The Mobile Celeron has been boosted to a 366MHz clockspeed, and becomes the first to take advantage of a new MicroPGA processor packaging, a much smaller version of plastic pin grid array designs already used on Mobile versions of the Pentium 2.
Available in Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA) packaging, the Intel Celeron processor 500 MHz is priced at $167 in 1,000-unit quantities.
It won't abandon the old SEPP form factor, but does expect similar 370-pin plastic pin grid array designs to eventually migrate up to its "performance" chip designs as well.
