Apparently it's rumored that Alder Lake S will use a LGA 1700 socket which could last 3 generations instead of their usual 2. Finally these hoes are starting to make changes!

It would be a nice welcome, specially given that they're about to release the new 1200 socket family of mobos that will work with the upcoming CPUs and the ones that will, supposedly, launch later this same year.

Rants aside, it will be interesting to see how the Alder Lake CPUs turn out to be given that they'll come with a new architecture and the new big/small cores design.

Yea it's quite annoying. They could have built a socket that has a bunch of pins that don't to anything unless they are required for a future cpu. Instead they keep on adjusting/adding the pins slightly making the entire thing nonsense.

I think Alder Lake will be the first series of cpus where intel finally starts fighting back. The question is how far AMD would advance by the time it comes out?
