Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out how many different socket types Intel CPUs have. It's driving me crazy because I have a few CPUs that don't fit my motherboard, and I can't seem to find clear info online. I know AMD has specific sockets like AM4 and AM5, but Intel seems more complicated. Any tips on how to check compatibility or find out which socket my CPUs use?

Currently, there are two main Intel sockets in use: LGA1851 for the latest 15th generation CPUs and LGA1700 for the 12th, 13th, and 14th generations. Over the years, Intel has had at least 28 different socket designs! If you're confused about compatibility, it’s best to check the specific socket type for your motherboard and then look up compatible CPUs.
