The Dell OptiPlex 7080 SFF moves to LGA 1200 for 10th Gen Comet Lake

The OptiPlex 7080 SFF steps up to an LGA 1200 socket, leaving the LGA 1151 era behind. It supports 10th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors (Comet Lake), plus Pentium and Celeron models from the same generation. The socket change means no backward compatibility with 9th Gen or earlier chips — but Comet Lake brought solid IPC gains and more cores across the lineup, making it a worthwhile generational jump for Dell’s SFF line.
