Intel processors by socket and family

Intel's mainstream desktop processors have used land grid array sockets since LGA 775 in 2004, and a socket usually stays in service for between two and four processor generations. The name is the number of contacts, as in LGA 1700 and LGA 1851.

Each socket page explains which chipsets and BIOS versions accept which generation. This matters because Intel sometimes keeps a socket name while changing what works on it, as with the two incompatible revisions of LGA 1151.
