LGA 1156 (land grid array 1156), also known as Socket H or H1, is an Intel desktop CPU socket….LGA 1156.
| Type | LGA |
|---|---|
| Processor dimensions | 37.5 × 37.5 mm |
| Processors | Nehalem Westmere |
| Predecessor | LGA 775 (high-end desktops and low-end servers) LGA 771 (low- and mid-end servers) |
| Successor | LGA 1155 |
What’s the difference between socket 1155 and 1156?
Socket LGA 1155 uses a land grid array format, so the pins are on the socket, rather than the processor. Socket LGA 1155 uses the same cover plate as Socket 1156, but is not interchangeable with it. Socket LGA 1155 is also used by Intel’s Ivy Bridge (third-generation) Core ix-series processors.
