How do I know my socket type?
Identify your Motherboard Socket
- Step 1: Download CPU-Z. Download CPU-Z from the official CPU-Z website.
- Step 2: Start CPU-Z. Simply start CPU-Z after your download is complete.
- Step 3: CPU tab. The package line will show your socket: This example is using Socket 1155 LGA.
What are socket types Why are they important?
People don’t usually concern themselves with CPU sockets. That’s mostly due to the fact that a socket can’t improve or hinder your machine’s performance. However, it has a very important role – it determines what CPUs you can use. Depending on its type, you’ll be limited to a certain range of Intel or AMD processors.
What is a socket in a computer?
A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent to. An endpoint is a combination of an IP address and a port number.

Is 9900K a 10th gen?
Intel has finally launched its next-gen Comet Lake processors, with a new 10th-gen flagship CPU for enthusiasts and gamers to drool over. In this article, we’re going to compare how the freshly announced Core i9-10900K stacks up against its predecessor the Core i9-9900K (which was launched back in October 2018).
Is the 9900K still good 2020?
10nm is still a ways away – at least late/mid Q1 2020. The 9900k is a great CPU. It may be overkill for your needs, but it’s extremely powerful.
Is 10th gen i7 worth it?
10th gen will be significantly faster for gaming Intel says the new Gen11 graphics in the 10th-gen CPUs can hit 1 teraflop of performance and is capable of 1080p gaming. Intel Intel’s Gen11 graphics cores offer significantly better performance than the previous graphics cores.
Is 10th gen better than 8th gen?
The 10th generation CPUs have a better clock frequency, thereby ensuring that these laptops display quicker booting times. Thus, the 10th generation laptop is a better performer than an 8th generation laptop. Similarly, the graphics performance of the 10th gen appliances is much better than the 8th gen devices.
Is 9th Gen i5 good?
As you may have noticed the upgrade from the 8th Generation to the 9th Generation is ever so slight, so there wasn’t any chance for the Core i5-9300H to beat the Core i7-8750H. However, it is both cheaper and offers a better performance-per-core which may present a better gaming experience.
