Which socket type is used for i7 processors in servers/high end systems?

  1. Socket H

  2. Socket R

  3. Socket AM2+

  4. Socket B

The correct answer is: Socket R

The Socket H is not used for i7 processors, it is typically used for Intel Core 2 Quad and other quad core processors. Socket AM2+ is used for AMD processors and not compatible with i7 processors. Lastly, Socket B is used for Intel Xeon processors and not necessarily limited to i7 processors. Socket R is the correct answer as it is specifically designed for i7 processors in servers and high-end systems, providing improved performance and scalability.
