Return to LGA 1700 (Alder Lake - Raptor Lake), LGA 1200 (Comet Lake - Rocket Lake), List of Intel Chipsets, Chipsets, Intel, Intel Processors

TLDR: LGA 1700 is an Intel processor socket introduced in 2021 alongside the 12th generation Alder Lake CPUs. This socket features a new rectangular design, supporting a hybrid architecture that combines P-cores (performance cores) and E-cores (efficiency cores). Designed for next-generation performance, LGA 1700 is compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and improved power delivery, making it a critical update for enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals.

The LGA 1700 socket increased the pin count compared to its predecessor, LGA 1200, to accommodate advanced features and higher power requirements. This change also included a physical size adjustment, requiring updated motherboard designs and cooler brackets. LGA 1700’s compatibility with Intel Z690, B660, and other 600-series chipsets ensures robust support for modern features like Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, AI-enhanced acceleration, and enhanced graphics performance through Intel Xe Graphics.

Designed with future-proofing in mind, LGA 1700 is expected to support multiple Intel CPU generations, starting with Alder Lake and continuing with Raptor Lake. The inclusion of cutting-edge technologies like DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 makes this socket ideal for high-performance computing, catering to demanding workloads like content creation, machine learning, and gaming. The socket’s versatility and feature set position it as a significant milestone in the evolution of Intel platforms.

Snippet from Wikipedia: LGA 1700

LGA 1700 (Socket V) is a zero insertion force flip-chip land grid array (LGA) socket, compatible with Intel desktop processors Alder Lake and Raptor Lake, which was first released in November 2021.

LGA 1700 is designed as a replacement for LGA 1200 (known as Socket H5) and it has 1700 protruding pins to make contact with the pads on the processor. Compared to its predecessor, it has 500 more pins, which required a major change in socket and processor sizes; it is 7.5 mm longer. It is the first major change in Intel's LGA desktop CPU socket size since the introduction of LGA 775 in 2004, especially for consumer-grade CPU sockets. The larger size also required a change in the heatsink fastening holes configuration, making previously used cooling solutions incompatible with LGA 1700 motherboards and CPUs.

Snippet from Wikipedia: List of Intel chipsets

This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series). The chipsets are listed in chronological order.
