A technician is replacing the failed motherboard in a workstation that uses an Intel Core i7-12700 processor. To ensure the CPU can be reused without modification, which CPU socket must the new motherboard support?
The Intel Core i7-12700 (12th-generation Alder Lake) is designed for the LGA1700 socket. Selecting a motherboard with the same socket allows the technician to reinstall the existing processor. LGA1200 is for 10th/11th-gen Intel CPUs, while AM4 and TR4 are AMD sockets and would not fit an Intel processor.
