No, the Lenovo P320 does not support the Intel® Core™ i7-8700.
Hello! I'm checking if the Lenovo P320 (a 2017 workstation) is compatible with the Intel® Core™ i7-8700 (a 2018 processor). Many online references mention the Lenovo model supports the LGA1151 socket, which the i7-8700 does, but others claim it only supports LGA1150, while the i7-8700 isn't compatible with that. I've also heard some suggest the i7-8700 needs 128GB RAM, which the P320 doesn't have. Let me know if you need more clarity!
LGA 1151 was divided by Intel into two versions. The initial 1151 model works with 6th and 7th generation processors such as i7-6700 and 7700. The 1151v2 version, which includes H110, H110-C, B360, B365, and Z370 chipsets, fits i7-8700 and 9700 among others. A quick online check suggests Lenovo P320 supports i7-7700, meaning it likely doesn't support the 8700. Updated December 11, 2022 by Fasauceome
