20-417: TE Connectivity has a global workforce of 89,000 employees, including more than 8,000 engineers. The company serves customers in approximately 140 countries. In 1941, Aircraft and Marine Products (AMP) was founded with electrical connections lacking solder for quick and removable wire connection used for aircraft and ships. After the war time boom, the company had to adapt to the post-war economy, and in 1956,

40-462: A full-scale nuclear exchange was simply impossible as the destruction on both sides would be insurmountable. Towards the end of the Cold War, a period of détente culminated in the easing of tensions, bans on nuclear testing, and the destruction of various quantities of nuclear stockpiles. The Cold War began to come to an end in 1989 with the overthrow of Communist governments across Eastern Europe in

60-532: A period determined by local considerations based on the effect of the war there. Some examples of post-war events are in chronological order: The Cold War was a geopolitical conflict between the capitalist and liberal "democratic" United States , the authoritarian and Communist Marxist–Leninist Soviet Union , and their respective allies: NATO and the Western Bloc for the United States, and

Its oil and gas products include cables and electronics used for subsea environments in the offshore oil and gas and civil marine industries and in shipboard, subsea, and sonar applications. TE Connectivity has produced CPU sockets compatible with Intel processors, such as LGA 771 CPU sockets. Post-war A post-war or postwar period

100-503: Is intended as a successor to Socket 604 and takes much of its design from LGA 775 and is almost pin compatible with LGA 775. Compared to LGA 775 CPUs, LGA 771 CPUs are rotated 90 degrees and have two pins swapped. Small adapters developed by Chinese computer DIY enthusiasts are available to allow LGA 771 CPUs to be installed in LGA 775 motherboards, if the BIOS microcode supports them (but it

120-506: Is the interval immediately following the end of a war . The term usually refers to a varying period of time after World War II , which ended in 1945. A post-war period can become an interwar period or interbellum, when a war between the same parties resumes at a later date (such as the period between World War I and World War II). By contrast, a post-war period marks the cessation of armed conflict entirely. The term "post-war" can have different meanings in different countries and refer to

140-634: Is used in Intel Core microarchitecture and NetBurst microarchitecture (Dempsey) based DP-capable server processors, the Dual-Core Xeon is codenamed Dempsey , Woodcrest , and Wolfdale and the Quad-Core processors Clovertown , Harpertown , and Yorkfield -CL. It is also used for the Core 2 Extreme QX9775, and blade servers designated under Conroe-CL . It was succeeded by LGA 1366 for

160-500: The Nehalem -based Xeon processors. As its name implies, it is a land grid array with 771 contacts. The word "socket" in this instance is a misnomer, as the processor interface has no pin holes. Instead, it has 771 protruding lands which touch contact points on the underside of the microprocessor . The "J" in "Socket J" refers to the now-canceled processor codenamed " Jayhawk ", which was expected to debut alongside this interface. It

180-535: The Revolutions of 1989 which was followed shortly after by the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, leaving the United States the world's sole superpower. On 25 June 1950, after years of tension between communist North Korea and democratic South Korea , North Korea coordinated a series of surprise attacks against strategic points between the 38th parallel. Soon US-led United Nations forces joined

200-697: The Warsaw Pact and the Eastern Bloc for the Soviet Union. Although both sides did not fight each other directly, both engaged through various proxy wars. At the height of the cold war, both superpowers manufactured and deployed thousands of nuclear weapons to target each other's key economic, military, and political centers. Each superpower's buildup and demonstration of nuclear strike capabilities lead to an unofficial military doctrine known as mutual assured destruction (MAD). The doctrine of MAD prompted leaders on both sides to believe that victory following

220-410: The dissolution of the Soviet Union . The 1990s and the 21st century are sometimes described as part of the post-war era, but the more specific phrase " Post–Cold War era " is often appended to distinguish the period running from the fall of Communism up to the present. In Britain, "post-war": LGA 771 LGA 771 , also known as Socket J , is a CPU interface introduced by Intel in 2006. It

380-703: Was fought between the communist North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union, China , and the Eastern Bloc and China and South Vietnam supported by the United States and SEATO . This war is especially brutal due to North Vietnamese regular forces and Viet Cong insurgents in South Vietnam adapting to guerrilla fighting and ambush tactics against the South Vietnamese military and the United States Armed Forces . Vietnam

400-428: Was one of the first wars to be broadcast to television . Many American civilians and soldiers were opposed to the war due to the condition and many thought the war was pointless. Finally after many protests the United States slowly withdrew from Vietnam due to public backlash.
