Yeah, a good portion of those pins will be wired directly to the power regulator components that are next to the socket, and a good chunk more break out neatly into channels for memory and PCI-e.

Seems like it's almost boring these days since everything's encapsulated in a layer of abstraction. A lot of the more complicated wiring is in breaking out PCI-e channels into things like ethernet, audio, and other miscellaneous ports that involve good chunks of analog circuitry.
