Intel Socket LGA 1200 CPUs - Comet Lake and Rocket Lake Prozessoren
Intel’s LGA 1200 CPUs include the powerful Comet Lake and Rocket Lake processors, designed for the 1200 socket. These processors deliver impressive performance and efficiency, making them ideal for gaming, content creation, and everyday tasks. Comet Lake processors are known for their strong multithreaded performance, while Rocket Lake introduces improved IPC (Instructions Per Clock) and support for PCIe 4.0. If you’re looking to equip your system with proven Intel technology, the LGA 1200 CPUs are an excellent choice.

Octa-core CPU from Intel's "Rocket Lake-S" series, base and max boost clock of 3.6 / 5.0 GHz, unlocked multiplier for overclocking, 16 MB Smart Cache & 125 Watt TDP, compatible with 500 series motherboards with LGA 1200 socket, Boxed version of the processor does not include a CPU cooler!
The Intel Socket LGA1200, also known as Socket 1200, was introduced in May 2020 alongside the Intel Core processors of the tenth generation. With 1200 contacts, also referred to as pins, Socket 1200 has 49 additional contacts compared to Socket 1151. The "Comet Lake-S" processors primarily utilized the additional pins for power supply, while most of the extra pins became relevant for upcoming Intel processors (11th generation "Rocket Lake-S"). Despite the additional pins, the dimensions of the socket did not increase because the CPU die is smaller due to the optimized 14nm++++ manufacturing process. This allows for an enlarged pin area in the center of the CPU.
Optimized Power Delivery and PCIe 4.0 Ready: Socket 1200
With the new Socket 1200, a new chipset family was introduced for the 10th generation Core processors. The 400-series chipsets are led by the Z490 as the top model for Socket 1200 motherboards. As an Intel chipset with the Z-prefix, it allows manual overclocking of compatible Core processors with unlocked multipliers (suffixes K, KS, KF, X).
However, the most significant change with the introduction of Socket 1200 has not yet been utilized by the "Comet Lake-S" CPUs. Some motherboard manufacturers have announced that most high-end Socket 1200 motherboards are already prepared for the PCIe 4.0 standard. Additionally, some Z490 motherboards feature M.2 slots directly connected to the CPU via PCIe links. However, these can only be fully utilized when the next generation provides four additional PCIe lanes from the CPU.
It was only with "Rocket Lake-S," based on the Cypress Cove CPU architecture, that Socket 1200 CPUs and motherboards started supporting PCI 4.0. Alongside a 500-series Intel chipset motherboard, not only can additional PCIe lanes be used, but the full benefits of PCIe 4.0 can also be realized. All 500-series chipset motherboards also allow memory overclocking via Intel XMP profiles, a feature previously exclusive to Z and X-prefix motherboards!
