Intel LGA18XX Socket Leaked Online

Highlights
- Intel 17XX/18XX Cover Leaked By twitter user @momomo_us
- Intel's upcoming Alder-Lake and Raptor-Lake to support LGA 1700 Socket
- Intel is devoloping a new mounting mechnaism for the LGA 1700 and 1800
- LGA18XX Sockets might be for a completely different series such as the Xeon Workstation
We've already seen some upcoming Intel sockets being leaked online such as the LGA 1700/1718 sockets and now we also got to see a bit of LGA18XX. At this moment it's unclear about where will these sockets be used, but some guesses from all over the Internet suggests that it might be for Intel's Raptor Lake, or Meteor Lake, the first 7nm architecture by Intel.
Igor Wallossek from Igor's Lab revealed that Intel is developing a new mounting mechanism for the LGA 1700 and 1800 sockets confirming that LGA18XX is an Intel Socket, not an AMD one.
First, a few basics about the new cooling system. With the new LGA1700 and LGA1800 sockets, Intel also introduces a new mounting system and deliberately changes the hole patterns for the screw and backplate. With the increased distances of the holes by a few millimeters, one wants to understandably avoid that someone puts an old cooler on the new system. Because not only the structure width of the new CPUs becomes smaller, but also the height of the complete package.

Intel LGA18XX Might be for some other Series
Some sources believe that Intel is going to keep the LGA1700 socket for at least 3 more years which will include the Intel Meteor Lake CPU as well. It indicates that the LGA18XX Sockets might be for a completely different series such as the Xeon Workstation or something else hiding from our knowledge at this point. Although, there's no confirmation from any leaks or official source about it.Intel's Upcoming 12th Gen Processor Series Code Named “Alder Lake” and one code names "Raptor Lake", are both to come to support the LGA 1700 socket. AMD's Zen 4 based "Raphael" series is also likely to feature an LGA support except with more pads (LGA-1718).
