“ These are not these processors where you are looking for “, ” Everything is fine, you can go »…
If you follow Intel news at all, you are probably aware of the mini-drama that accompanied the release of the latest architecture from the American firm, Meteor Lake.
Indeed, rather than proceeding as in each generation, Intel then favored the world of laptops, postponing the introduction of the new LGA1851 socket to the next generation, Arrow Lake.
The LGA1851 is revealed
What seemed like it should be simple, however, took a strange turn when we learned that Meteor Lake generation LGA1851 chips are indeed planned at Intel.
Today we have the most official confirmation possible, since the latest information is from Intel itself. The firm is present in Nuremberg, Germany, for Embedded World 2024, a trade show dedicated to so-called embedded technologies.
Intel of course didn’t make the trip for nothing, because it was on this occasion that the LGA1851 platform was unveiled for the first time. Yes, the socket in the photo above is indeed an LGA1851, but on a motherboard that you are unlikely to find at home.
Embedded technologies are actually intended for manufacturers who integrate this type of solution into their products. The IBASE MI1002 motherboard that we had already talked about in our previous news will never be on the shelves at your favorite seller, and even on Amazon, it seems very complicated.
Nine LGA1851 HL and UL processors
In fact, Intel’s announcements resulting from this presentation of the IBASE MI1002 motherboard will not be of much interest, even if they confirm the existence of Meteor Lake chips in LGA1851 socket.
In total, 9 new processors were presented by Intel and which are divided into two ranges, with the Core Ultra-HL on one side, and the Core Ultra-UL on the other. Beyond the technical specifications that you will find in the two tables above/below, let us especially remember that these two ranges are distinguished by their TDP with an HL series designed for 45 watts and a UL series in 15 watts.
At Clubic, we prefer to remember that this presentation of the LGA1851 socket confirms the dimensions of the beast: they are strictly identical to those of the LGA1700 socket. LGA1700 coolers will therefore be well compatible with LGA1851 sockets. This is rather good news, knowing that Intel has nevertheless reorganized the keying of its new socket so that no mistake can be made.
An appointment has been made before the end of the year with the first generation LGA1851 which should concern our desktop PCs, Arrow Lake.
