Are all i7s the same socket?
no. the i7 is available on a range of sockets, off the top of my head there’s 1150, 1151, 1155, 2011v3, 1136 and more.
What is i7 socket?
Compatibility concerns for Intel® Core™ i7 Desktop Processors that use the LGA1151 socket. Intel® Core™ i7-87xx Desktop Processors use a chipset based on the Intel® 300 Series Chipset Boards. Intel® Core™ i7-67xx and i7-77xx Desktop Processors use a chipset based on the Intel® 100 and 200 Series Chipset Boards.
Are all i5 sockets the same?
A core i5 socket is the same as an i7 socket as long as they are the same generation—for example, all haswell CPUs will fit lga 1150 sockets, and all skylake CPUs will fit lga 1151 sockets, regardless of pentium, i3, i5, or i7. Within the same generation of CPUs, the actual socket is the same between an i5 and an i7.
What socket do i7s use?

What is the difference between Intel Core i5 and Core i7 computers?
But there’s more to picking between Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 computers. First, you need to know that there is some overlap between the Intel processor families. The high end of the Core i5 line has speeds (frequencies) that rival the low end of the Core i7 line.
What is the difference between an i5 and an i7-800?
Pay attention, because this is where things get really tricky. The Core i7 800 series is essentially the same as the Core i5 700 series but with HyperThreading enabled and higher clocks. It’s based on the same quad-core Lynnfield processor die and drops into LGA1,156 socket.
What is the cache size of the Intel Core i5/i7 processor?
The latest Core i5 and Core i7 laptop processors have cache sizes of 16MB or less. Turbo Boost is an overclocking feature that Intel has built into its processors for many generations now.
What’s the difference between an I3 and an i9 processor?
The differences among Intel’s key processor families are clearer when you’re looking at the Core i3 (found mainly in budget systems) or the Core i9 ( powerful CPUs for content-creation and other high-performance scenarios).
