What is the difference between an i5 and an i7 socket?
Within each generation of CPU (and sometimes even across generations; i.e. Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, or for Xeons, LGA 2011), there is no difference between the socket of an i5 and an i7. The exception to this is when the CPU is soldered to the board. Now the CPU itself? An i5 is basically an i7 chip that has hyper threading disabled.
Is the i5 4460 socket the same as the i7 4460?
And that’s because the 4460 is a lga 1150 processor. 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 pe…
Is an i5 6500 the same as an i7 6700K?
A core i5 socket can be the same as a core i7 socket. For example, the i5 6500 can fit in the same motherboards that the i7 6700k fits into. This is because these processors are both lga 1151.
