In the second half of the year, Intel will release Raptor Lake-S processors, which, although they bring evolutionary improvements over Alder Lake-S, will remain compatible with the LGA 1700 socket. new motherboards.

According to a Chinese source, LGA 1851 processors will retain the length and width of LGA 1700 predecessors (37.5 × 45 mm), but the range of their mounting height relative to the surface of the motherboard will start at 6.83 mm and end at 7.49 mm, which is 0.09‒0.1 mm more than that of LGA 1700 processors. Theoretically, this will allow maintaining compatibility with cooling systems that worked on LGA 1700 processors, but the downforce is not so clear due to change in mounting height of LGA 1851 processors.
