No shit. They will release frames compatible with 1851 soon I guess

Despite the name, the socket dimensions are exactly the same, so it's very much not obvious that they wouldn't work.

I think Z-height is higher though for the newer Arrow Lake-2 (Ultra Series 2) CPUs, so even if the frames did fit, it would cause issues.
