Special sockets are used to connect the computer processor to the motherboard. With each new version, processors got more and more features and functions, so usually each generation used a new socket. This nullified compatibility, but it allowed to implement the necessary functionality.
Over the past few years, the situation has changed a bit and a list of Intel sockets has been formed that is still actively used and supported by new processors.
In this article, we have compiled the most popular 2017 Intel processor sockets that can still be supported.
What is a socket?
Before we get into processor sockets, let’s try to understand what a socket is. A socket is a physical interface that connects the processor to the motherboard. The LGA socket is made up of a series of pins that align with the plates on the underside of the processor.
New processors usually need a new set of pins, which means there is a new socket. However, in some cases, processors remain compatible with previous generations of Intel processors. The socket is located on the motherboard and cannot be upgraded without a complete board replacement. Therefore, updating the processor may require a complete rebuild of the computer. Therefore, it is important to know which socket is used on your system and what you can do with it.
1. LGA 1151
LGA 1151 is the latest Intel socket. It was released in 2015 for the Intel Skylake processor generation.
These processors used the 14 nanometer process technology. Since the new processors, Kaby Lake have not been changed much, this socket is still relevant. The socket is supported by the following motherboards: h210, B150, Q150, Q170, h270 and Z170. The release of Kaby Lake also brought such boards: B250, Q250, h370, Q270, Z270.
Compared to the previous LGA 1150 version, USB 3.0 support has appeared here, DDR4 and DIMM memory modules have been optimized, and SATA 3.0 support has been added. Compatibility with DDR3 has been preserved. From video, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort are supported by default, while VGA support can be added by manufacturers.
LGA 1151 chips only support GPU overclocking. If you’re looking to overclock your CPU or memory, you’ll have to go with a higher-end chipset. In addition, support for Intel Active Management, Trusted Execution, VT-D and Vpro has been added.
Skylake processors perform better than Sandy Bridge in tests, and the new Kaby Lake processors are a few percent faster.
Here are the processors currently running on this socket:
SkyLake:
- Pentium — G4400, G4500, G4520;
- Core i3 — 6100, 6100T, 6300, 6300T, 6320;
- Core i5 — 6400, 6500, 6600, 6600K;
- Core i7 — 6700, 6700K.
Kaby Lake:
- Core i7 7700K, 7700, 7700T
- Core i5 7600K, 7600, 7600T, 7500, 7500T, 7400, 7400T;
- Core i3 7350K, 7320, 7300, 7300T, 7100, 7100T, 7101E, 7101TE;
- Pentium: G4620, G4600, G4600T, G4560, G4560T;
- Celeron G3950, G3930, G3930T.
2. LGA 1150
The LGA 1150 socket is designed for the previous fourth generation of Intel Haswell processors in 2013. It is also supported by some chips from the fifth generation. This socket is supported by the following motherboards: H81, B85, Q85, Q87, H87 and Z87. The first three processors can be considered entry-level devices, they do not support any advanced Intel features.
The last two boards add support for SATA Express as well as Thunderbolt technology. Supported processors:

3.
LGA 1155
This is the oldest socket in the Intel processor socket list currently supported. It was released in 2011 for the second generation of Intel Core. Most of the Sandy Bridge architecture processors work on this socket.
The LGA 1155 socket has been used for two generations of processors in a row and is also compatible with Ivy Bridge chips. This means that it was possible to upgrade without changing the motherboard, just like now with Kaby Lake.
This socket is supported by twelve motherboards. The older line includes B65, H61, Q67, H67, P67 and Z68. All of them were released along with the release of Sandy Bridge. The launch of Ivy Bridge brought B75, Q75, Q77, H77, Z75 and Z77. All boards share the same socket, but some features are disabled on budget devices.
Processors supported:

4. LGA 2011
The LGA 2011 socket was released in 2011 after the LGA 1155 as a socket for high-end Sandy Bridge-E/EP and Ivy Bridge E/EP processors. The socket is designed for six core processors and for all Xenon processors. For home users, the X79 motherboard will be relevant. All other boards are designed for corporate users and Xenon processors.
In tests, the processors Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E show quite good results, the performance is 10-15% higher.
Processors supported:
- Haswell-E Core i7 — 5820K, 5930K, 5960X;

- Sandy Bridge-E Core i7 — 3820, 3930K, 3960X, 3970X.
These were all modern intel processor sockets.
5. LGA 775
Next, consider the old sockets for intel processors. This socket is no longer used in new motherboards, but may still be found in many users. It was released in 2006.
It was used to install Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad and many others up to the release of LGA 1366.
These systems are obsolete and use the old DDR2 memory standard.
6. LGA 1156
The LGA 1156 socket was released for a new processor line in 2008. It was supported by H55, P55, H57 and Q57 motherboards. New processor models for this socket have not been released for a long time.

What is a socket. The main sockets of processors AMD and Intel
The concept of a socket is, perhaps, a kind of passive characteristic of the processor, but at the same time this term is one of the key ones when completing a system. In this article of the «Processor Specifications» series, we will deal with the concept of a socket and consider the more or less popular processor sockets of the two main CPU manufacturers — AMD and Intel.
Socket. What and how?
Simply put, a socket is a socket on a motherboard where a processor is installed. But when we say “processor socket”, we mean by this both the socket on the motherboard and the support of this socket by certain processor lines. The socket is needed precisely so that you can easily replace a failed processor or upgrade the system with a more powerful processor.
At the physical level, sockets differ in the number of pins, the type of pins, the distance of fasteners for CPU coolers, and many other little things that make almost all sockets incompatible. Also, there are technological differences: the presence of various additional controllers, higher performance parameters, support for integrated graphics in the processor, etc.
As mentioned above, socket selection is an important part of system assembly. If a processor is selected that is oriented to a different socket than in the motherboard, then the system will not work, if at all the processor will fit into an incompatible socket.
It is better not to carry out such experiments with incompatible sockets, since you can damage the contacts on the processor or socket, which will most likely lead to failure of the components. Therefore, when buying a motherboard and processor, first choose a processor, and then look for a motherboard with a compatible socket for it. The list of supported processors can be found on the official website of the motherboard manufacturer in order to make sure that a particular model is compatible.
Well, now, we will look at the most popular processor sockets from amd and intel, omitting the outdated versions like the 370th sockets for Pentium III and the like.
Intel sockets
The dynamics of socket updates for Intel processors is an order of magnitude higher than for the same sockets of new AMD processors. As part of its penultimate series of processors, as many as three new sockets have appeared, and they are completely incompatible.
All this is both good and bad at the same time.
The good thing is that with frequent socket updates and releases for each (even) part of the processor line, we can see an increase in performance and more specific sharpening for a specific model. But the fat minus is that it is quite difficult to upgrade, when each new series of processors goes to a new socket, you have to change not only the processor, but also the motherboard.
Now let’s look at a few specific sockets from Intel:
Socket It should be noted that this socket was rather a marketing ploy to shake up the market and increase prices (at first) for processors that were positioned under this socket. Still, performance improvements could be seen. Now, processors for this socket have fallen in price, which cannot be said about motherboards with LGA 2011, they remain many times more expensive than similar motherboards for the same LGA 1155, which we will consider below.
socket , just for different versions.
Socket 1155 turned out to be the most popular, and most systems are now built on it. For powerful systems and server solutions on board with Corei7 and Xeon, Socket 1366 was developed.
Socket ( socket LGA 775) — these sockets are already obsolete, although they still live in many systems, they were positioned under several lines at once, such as Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Celeron and others.
AMD sockets
AMD’s policy is more conservative in this regard. Several sockets are compatible due to series with «+». For example, Socket AM2 is compatible with AM2+, which gives more upgrade opportunities, but at the same time, it’s a bit of an unpleasant treadmill, which is not acceptable for the IT industry.
Some examples of AMD sockets:
SOKKET (socket AM 3 and AM 3+) — we can say the socket and its modification, they are compatible for each FX, Phenom II, Athlon II processors.
The socket for the most powerful Bulldozer (FX) among the AMD camp, which did not live up to expectations, but having fallen in price has become a more interesting application in terms of good performance for a low price. Sockets AM3 and AM3+ are now the most popular, they are equipped with most of both cheap and more expensive systems. That is, we can safely state the practicality of these sockets.
Socket Also, fully compatible. Today it can be considered a little outdated, although a lot of systems built on the basis of these sockets are still actively working.
Socket (socket FM 1 and FM 2)0039 AMD Fusion , which feature very powerful integrated graphics. This socket and compatible processors should be guided by those who do not want to spend money on a discrete video card and will be content with integrated graphics.
