The LGA 1200 socket is a popular socket in 2023 for building new computers. In this article, we have written about the socket, as well as its architectures and prepared a list of processors from different generations.

About the LGA 1200 Socket

Socket LGA 1200 for Intel 10th and 11th generation processors
Close-up of LGA 1200 socket on a motherboard

The LGA 1200 socket is a CPU socket designed by Intel that is used in desktop computers. It is the successor to the LGA 1151 socket and was first introduced in 2020. The LGA 1200 socket has 1200 pins, which is an increase of 49 pins compared to its predecessor. This increase in pin count allows for better power delivery to the processor and provides additional flexibility for motherboard manufacturers to implement new features.

Architecture and Generations

The LGA 1200 socket is designed to work with a variety of Intel processors, including the Core i9, Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3 series. These processors are designed for high-performance desktop computing and are ideal for demanding applications such as gaming, video editing, and content creation.

Intel’s 10th generation Comet Lake-S processors are based on the same architecture as Intel’s 9th generation Coffee Lake processors but offer higher clock speeds and improved multi-threaded performance. Comet Lake-S processors also support Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which allows for better multitasking and improved performance in applications that can take advantage of multiple CPU cores.

Intel 11th generation Rocket Lake-S processors – feature Intel’s Cypress Cove architecture, which is based on the Sunny Cove architecture found in Intel’s 10th generation Ice Lake processors. Rocket Lake-S processors offer improved single-core performance and support for PCIe 4.0, which provides faster data transfer rates for high-speed storage and graphics cards.

List of LGA 1200 processors

We have compiled a list-table of all processors that support the LGA 1200 socket, including Intel Core 10th and 11th generations. Explanation for the list, how to distinguish between Intel processor generations:

  • Processors whose digits start with 11 are Intel’s Rocket Lake-S 11th generation processors.
  • Those starting with 10 are Intel’s Comet Lake-S 10th generation processors.
  • The Pentium and Celeron series were only introduced in the 10th generation of Comet Lake-S processors.
