Rumor mill: Are you considering buying one of Intel’s newly revealed 10th-gen Comet Lake desktop processors? If so, you’ll need a new Z490 motherboard that comes with the LGA 1200 socket, but if rumors are to be believed, these will only support a couple of generations of processor families, with 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs switching to the LGA 1700 socket.

Soon after the new Core i9-10900K CPU was officially revealed last week, we heard that the 400-series motherboards it requires would also support 11th-gen Rocket Lake processors, which is when Intel will finally catch up with AMD by offering PCIe 4.0 support.
According to recent reports, lit-tech, a Taiwanese company that provides voltage regulation test tools to Intel in the Asia-Pacific market, has confirmed the LGA 1200 socket will only be used for two generations of processors.

The LGA 1200 socket has a lot in common with its predecessor
With LGA 1700, however, there are rumored to be some big changes, including the chip shape changing from a square to a rectangle (45.00mm x 37.5mm), meaning no support from existing boards or coolers.

The CPUs are said to mark Intel finally moving away from the 14nm process node and onto 10nm++.
It’s also rumored to use a mix of big and little cores, with eight high-powered cores, eight energy-efficient ones, and integrated graphics (8+8+1), and later versions might support PCI 5.0 and DDR5 RAM.
