What sockets do Intel Core i7 processors use?

  1. 1150 and 2011

  2. 1366 or 1156

  3. 2066 and 1151

  4. 478 and 423

The correct answer is: 1366 or 1156

Intel Core i7 processors use either socket 1366 or socket 1156. This is because these processors were released during different generations, with the 1366 socket being used for first-generation processors and the 1156 socket being used for later generations. The other options, 1150 and 2011, are incorrect as they were used for different processor families such as Core i5 or i9. The options 2066 and 1151 are also incorrect as they were used for the newer Core i7 processors released after the first generation. Finally, the options 478 and 423 are incorrect as they are older sockets used for different processor generations.
