Socket LGA1156
Socket LGA1156 (also known as
Socket H
) was introduced in September 2009 and was
designed to support Intel Core i Series processors featuring an integrated chipset north
bridge, including a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and optional integrated graph-
ics. Socket LGA1156 uses a land grid array format, so the pins are on the socket, rather
than the processor. Socket LGA1156 is shown in
