I apologize if this is a bad question or has already been asked. Why doesn’t intel (or AMD) create a socket with the maximum amount of pins possible that way every new CPU would be compatible with a bios update? Even if new gen CPUs don’t utilize all the pins it would leave headroom for new generations. Is it not possible going from 10nm to 7nm? Imagine creating LGA 3000 that could support the next 10 generations.
Because it’s expensive, and technology and standards change too quickly. How big is big enough? How fast is fast enough? Are motherboards going to design every path to support 5Ghz? Every path to support 180w of power?
Just cover the whole mobo with cpu pins to be as future compatible as possible :D
