It’s no secret that Intel’s processor roadmap is full of new features for the next few years. While the thirteenth generation of its PC CPUs has not even appeared on the market, we already have a good deal of information on the fifteenth. Since we can already talk about the socket that we will see for desktop processors under the Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake architectures, the LGA1851 or Socket V1. Although not only its name was revealed, but also a number of additional features.
Not too long ago it was rumored that the socket for the Intel Core 14 and 15 would be LGA 2551. However, in the end it was shown that this was not the case and thanks to a leak, we were able to know that he is the LGA 1851. who will be named Socket V1. Which doesn’t exclude the 2551-pin socket that had been rumored so far. Although it is more for a possible sixteenth generation or another series of processors. In any case, Intel continues its tradition of changing the connector or socket for the connector every two generations.
This is socket V1 of the Intel Core 14 and 15
At first glance, what is surprising is that we will have a relatively small jump in the number of interconnects compared to the previous generation, but it does it twice when we realize that the size is exactly the same, 45×37.5mm. So the first thing we have to assume is thate Cooler support for Intel Core will continue until at least 2024. Year in which the Intel Core 15 is expected, codenamed Arrow Lake and which will also use the V1 socket and will therefore be compatible with the same motherboards.
The biggest change is to the case heatsink, which is now taller and has gone from a height of 6.73-7.4mm to 6.83-7.49mm. It’s not a substantial change, but manufacturers of CPU cooling components will have to take it into account. In addition, thanks to this, the heat emitted by the processor will have some variation. Either way, it’s not a headache users should worry about and we’re very confident that the vast majority of AIO CPU heatsinks and radiators on the market will continue to be fully compatible with Intel CPUs. , at least until the fifteenth generation.
Arrow Lake has yet to fully finalize its design.
Both the Intel Core 14 and its successor will be based on several chips, so they will be processors broken down into chiplets or tiles. Who will use Foveros technology to communicate with each other. Currently, Arrow Lake is not complete in terms of design. For the moment, it is nothing more than a point on the roadmap. However, various rumors have surfaced that due to the time distance from launch, we are taking them with a grain of salt. The only sure thing? The using an Intel 20A or 2nm node for the first time in one of its processors. as well as a Integrated 320 EU GPU.
