Intel LGA18XX CPU Socket Cover Pictured
The Intel LGA1700/LGA1718 sockets have featured prominently in recent leaks for the upcoming 12th Generation Core Series Alder Lake processors and their Raptor Lake successors we have seen very little mention of the LGA18XX socket. The socket cover for LGA17XX has recently been pictured and it lists also being compatible with LGA18XX which would suggest the two sockets will be somewhat similar. We don't know what products may feature the LGA18XX socket but the most likely option would be the 7 nm Meteor Lake architecture. Intel has developed a new mounting solution for the two sockets with updated hole patterns indicating they are similar.

ever since socket 423, intel have been changing the sockets every other year.
But hey, even H510 supports Xeon now.
Good that intel moving to new socket. Let it come out and then we will see if it is good or bad.
Can't wait to see how (miniscule) the improvements are for this gen over the last 2.....
They can have my puny little i9-9900k (quietly running at 5.2GHZ) when they pry it from my cold, dead hands, hehehehe :D
Come on, assuming the same density a hundred pins means at most 6% size difference between those sockets. Not really worth the tooling for a separate version of a piece of plastic most users immediately discard.
Also, I just got a new plastic lid for my tea jar. Where's the news article about that?
