We managed to grab pics of the newest upcoming server sockets from both AMD and Intel at Computex 2026. Both AMD and Intel are preparing to launch their next-generation server platforms that use all-new sockets, which enable new levels of performance, functionality, and power delivery.
AMD is a bit ahead with its SP7 platform in 2026, while Intel’s gargantuan 9324-pin socket will be used for Xeon ‘Diamond Rapids’ in 2027. While the platforms are entirely different, what makes them similar is the massive dimensions of CPU sockets and coolers.
