A CPU socket is a mechanical connection that holds the CPU and allows it to communicate with the motherboard. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets will have a leaver at the side that allows the user to remove the CPU chip easier. They also contain a load plate that will hold the CPU in place, allowing maximum contact with the heat sink.
Depending on the CPU being installed, the socket will have either small holes (for PGA CPUs) or metal contacts (for LGA CPUs).
