Intel plans to launch the 14th generation of meteor Lake CPU in 2023 and the 15th generation of arrow Lake CPU in 2024 According to the details shared in the latest video of moore's law is dead, the two series will adopt the new socket of LGA 2551
The Intel LGA 2551 socket will replace the current LGA 1700/1800 socket, which supports the 12th generation alder lake and 13th generation Raptor Lake CPUs. As we all know, Intel will transition to newer sockets every two generations. LGA 1200 socket also supports the 10th generation comet lake and 11th generation rocket Lake CPUs.
Although the socket remains unchanged, each CPU brings a lot of improvements to i/o, which are realized through newer chips. AMD and Intel also adopted the same concept, because we saw the revision and update of several chipsets on the same socket.
According to the details, the exact size of the Intel LGA 2551 socket for the meteor lake and arrow Lake CPUs is 38mm x 46mm, which is only slightly larger than the existing LGA 1700/1800 socket. This means that compared with the current design, these 2551 pins may be squeezed tightly, so that the socket does not occupy a lot of space on the mainstream platform.
This will make Intel LGA 2551 socket the largest socket for mainstream desktop computers, 751 pins more than Intel's current mainstream socket and 833 pins more than AMD's Am5 socket (LGA 1718).
