"LGA 1151-2"

Nowhere on the Internet has mentioned the term "LGA 1151-2". Please remove it. Yhynerson1 (talk) 08:11, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Only sources I could find are old rumours. --Pizzahut2 (talk) 10:15, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if it's not on the Internet, it obvously doesn't exist. --92.242.58.13 (talk) 15:36, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is the socket name. Unless you work for Intel, you made it up. Intel should have used ILM keying which would have justified a new name for the socket, but to my knowledge, they didn't.

As for the internet, information on Wikipedia should be verifiable, see WP:V and WP:RS.--Pizzahut2 (talk) 17:22, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is perfectly correct that tomato is a fruit but unfortunately this is not the common meaning. Electrical specifications did change, even though mechanical didn't, so in the common sense this is a new processor socket. I can't really find anyone going "LGA1151 using a pin configuration which is only compatible with 8th Gen CPUs and 300-Series chipsets etc."[1]. --89.178.3.50 (talk) 19:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. Though also consider that on every website, e.g. online shops, mainboard product websites, Intel ARK, reviews and news, it just says 1151, some adding an awkward explanation about the incompatibility issue. But yeah, a lengthy explanation in the info box or in tables isn't ideal. --Pizzahut2 (talk) 00:35, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shortened to "a variant of LGA 1151", while putting a detailed explanation into a tool tip:

Incorrect redirection

This article redirects Z100 Z200 searches, but LGA is JUST A SOCKET TYPE: a socket is just a pad with over 1,000 holes.

The CPU sits in the socket and is connects to what the holes wire to - which must be electrically compatible if connected.

The Z170 chip DOES NOT USE the LGA 1151 socket: the CPU (ie, core i7) does.

The re-direction is incorrect and the article says anything and everything except what the topics implies would be said.

The article makes no mention of any of the socket's physical properties, such as it's heat rating, package format, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8806:400:1CF0:FC48:48A1:EA0C:CD2B (talk) 14:54, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
