Answer: LGA1151, 8th generation

Explanation:

LGA 1151, also known as Socket H4, is an Intel microprocessor compatible socket which comes in two distinct versions: the first revision which supports both Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs, and the second revision which supports Coffee Lake CPUs exclusively.

LGA 1151 is designed as a replacement for the LGA 1150 (known as Socket H3).
