Motherboards with the LGA 1200 socket support the "Comet Lake-S" processors (Intel Core 10th Gen.) as well as the 11th Core generation "Rocket Lake-S". Compared to the older 1151 socket, the LGA 1200 socket features additional power pins and supports the PCIe 4.0 standard. The physical dimensions of the socket remain unchanged, so CPU coolers for the 115X socket are also compatible with the LGA 1200 socket.
Intel LGA 1200 Motherboards: PCIe 4.0 with Rocket Lake-S
Both 400-series and 500-series chipset motherboards support PCIe 4.0. However, the PCIe 4.0 standard is only provided by the "Rocket Lake-S" processors (Intel Core 11th Gen.).
The "Rocket Lake-S" CPUs also provide four additional CPU lanes, which are typically used to connect M.2 SSDs directly to the processor, bypassing the chipset.
Note: The LGA 1200 socket has identical dimensions to the 115X socket. Therefore, CPU coolers for the 1150, 1151, 1155, and 1156 sockets are compatible with the LGA 1200 socket.
