Intel is set to revise its CPU architecture and introduce a new socket type; however, there are indications that the current LGA 1700 platform may continue to be supported with new CPUs. The speculated "Bartlett Lake" CPUs could enhance the Raptor Lake series, targeting cost-conscious consumers. The transition from the LGA 1700 to the LGA 1851 socket is expected to occur later this year, coinciding with the release of processors based on Intel's Arrow Lake S architecture. These new processors, anticipated for release in the second half of the year, are expected to support up to 24 cores and will utilize the tile architecture first seen in the Meteor Lake mobile processors.

Despite the upcoming transition, the LGA 1700 socket might still have a future. Rumors suggest Intel plans to extend the socket's lifespan by introducing CPUs based on the Bartlett Lake architecture, aimed at the budget segment. The Bartlett Lake CPUs are thought to be an extension of the Raptor Lake series, potentially featuring enhanced cache sizes, minor improvements in Instructions per Clock (IPC), and modified clock speeds.

This approach of updating CPUs for existing sockets is not unique. AMD has previously released new Ryzen processors using older technologies for the AM4 socket and introduced Ryzen 5000 series models with 3D cache, as well as Ryzen 8000G APUs for the AM5 socket, indicating a trend of sustaining older platforms with refreshed hardware.
