Newer processors from Intel (Prescott P4s, the Core 2 line, and later) don't have pins--the pins are actually in the socket; thus why they're called Land Grid Array setups. In these cases, the contact force is provided by a special cover (called a load plate) built into the socket. Once the processor is properly placed, the load plate flips on top of the processor and then secured by an arm.
In both scenarios, further securing force is provided by the cooling system (usually a heatsink and fan) that is placed on top of the processor. Socket designs specify how the cooling systems are to be secured to the motherboard. Their installation further secures the processor into the socket.

When buying a motherboardthe CPU needs to be compatibleexplain?
Each motherboard possesses certain socket type, for instance, from Intel LGA 771, LGA 775, Socket 478, 604, Socket M and P, for AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, Socket F and socket S1. Thus, when you are going to buy a motherboard you have to have or buy a CPU with the same type of socket. A CPU with one type of socket will not fit another type of socket!
Motherboard socket type is used on the Pentium 4 chip?
Look for what type of socket the CPU has its usually lga 1155 but there are other kinds so you should look under specs and find the socket type and then find a motherboard that has the socket type
Where is the CPU inserted?

I have a Lenovo G50-45 Laptop and want to upgrade. My CPU is AMD A8 integrated graphics and my socket is ft3. I cannot find another ft3 integrated graphics CPU. Help?
Unfortunately, your A8 processor is not upgradable, as FT3 Socket (BGA769) processors are soldered directly to the motherboard, and are not removable.
