Intel's Next-Gen LGA 1954 Socket Spotted at Computex

Intel's next-generation LGA 1954 socket has shown up in an unnamed motherboard at Computex. Snapped by an eagle-eyed attendee and spotted by Wccftech, the socket is clearly labeled for the next generation and has dual-retention arms, which we first heard rumors of a few months ago.

The LGA 1954 socket will support the Intel Nova Lake-S processors and increase the number of pins from the existing LGA 1700 socket design used for Arrow Lake chips. Nova Lake is expected to offer up to 52 core chip designs, a big cache chip akin to AMD's 3D V-Cache, and new Xe3 and Xe3P graphics cores, potentially delivering very strong entry-level gaming performance. There will also be Thunderbolt 5 support and more PCIe 5 lanes on the CPU and chipset.

These chips aren't launching until the last few months of the year, though, which means this socket example is likely...
