Intel LGA1700 Socket Shown, Typical Installation Method.
Below the fold a photo of Intel's rectangular socket for the company's next-generation heterogeneous processor architecture. Bilibili displays the LGA1700 socket, which has been called "15R1."
The CPU socket is 7.5 mm taller than the LGA1200 socket, however, it is the same width as the LGA1200 socket (37.5 mm). Intel has managed to reduce the size of the latching system, which means that the socket will not need to be increased in size. At first glance, it appears that the retention mechanism of the LGA1700 is identical to that of Socket H and most other Intel LGA sockets (though it appears to be distinct from that of the LGA2011/LGA2066).
The LGA1700 contains 100 pins that are not used in its client desktop representation. This is due to the fact that the socket is physically identical to the LGA1800 socket, which is expected to be reserved for future generations of Intel processors that require additional power or I/O pins. Because the Z-height of LGA1700 is lower than that of Socket H, the retention mounting brackets design of most aftermarket CPU cooling systems might need to be altered.

I'm so used to square CPUs that a rectangular looks weird.
But it will be hidden for 99.99% of its life so whatever.

Looks like it hinges from the other side?
As the bar has no hinges on the same side as the retention plate. Kinda foldes towards eachother like a three folded letter.
