False. For example, all LGA1155 h61 motherboards aren't compatible with Ivy Bridge, even though Ivy Bridge CPUs are LGA1155 based. Also, if you put for example an FX8350 on a cheap 30$ AM3+ board it might work, but the board's VRMs will blow due to the 8350 sucking so much power through some unheatsinked 1+1+1 system.
