Not all are the same!

Socket 940 - 940 pin slots (woo)

AM2/AM2+ - 940 or 941 pin slots(Processors in this range typically have 938 pins)

AM3+ - 942 pin slots(Processors in this range typically have 938 pins)

FM1 - 905 pin slots

LGA1155 - 1155 pin slots

LGA2011 - 2011 pin slots

Keeps right on going. There's so many socket types that I really couldn't go into depth regarding them. I gave you some relevant socket pin counts for modern processors.

Yes, there are.

Your question lacks specifics to which I can respond specifically such as "how many pins are there on an 8088?". I can; however, provide a fairly general answer.

First, understand the difference between a microprocessor and a microcontroller. A microcontroller is a microprocessor plus peripherals - typically some type of non-volatile memory such as Flash, a bit of SRAM, and some type of communication interface such as an RS-232 port, and a few pins for digital I/O and possibly a few pins for analog I/O.

So, at a minimum 2 pins are required for power (Vcc and ground), 2 more pins for serial communications, and one wire for on-board bi-directional serial communication.

MicroChip offers an 8-bit PIC microcontroller with only 6 pins. These pins are voltage and ground, and 4 multi-use pins which may be used as general-purpose digital input/output or more specialized serial communications.

A microprocessor will, in addition to power and ground, require a data bus, address bus, and some control lines. The number of signals included will be dependent on the depth of the memory (how many addresses) and the data bus width. Typically an 8-bit processor will use 8 pins for data, 12-16 for address, and about 4 for control. Additionally, a clock is required using another 2 pins. This is about 32 pins. Many older 8-bit processors were delivered in 40 pin DIP packages.

The answer varies from types of model to the time when the microprocessor was released.

In 70s, the trend was to develop micro processors with 40 pin packages only like the 8086 microprocessor had 40 pins. While latest AMD processors have 936 pins.

I believe there is 100 billion pins in a Microprocessor.

It depends on the microprocessor. The 8085 and 8086/8088 had 40 pins. The 4004 had 16 pins. The i7-990x has 1366 pins.

How many pin in Intel Pentium 3?

That depends upon the socket type the processor was made for. The Pentium 4 was released in three socket types: # Socket 423 (423 Pins) # Socket 478 (478 Pins) # LGA775 (775 Contacts) Note: in the case of the LGA775 the processor does not have pins. Instead it has contacts, while the socket actually has pins that connect to the contacts on the processor.

Why is it important to insert a processor straight down into the socket rather than sliding the processor in from the side or allowing it to tilt into the socket?

Processor pins, or in modern computers the pins in the sockets, are very delicate and easy to bend. If you insert the processor any way other than straight down, you will bend the pins and likely destroy either the processor or the motherboard, or both.
