Intel developing two-lever retention mechanism for LGA 1954 socket, according to new leak
Meanwhile, for those systems that do not need so many cores and memory channels, AMD is prepping the SP8 platform that is set to offer fewer cores and DDR5 channels. Interestingly, Auras is working on water blocks for SP8 sockets as well, which means that the platform will still be quite mighty in terms of power consumption.
But while AMD’s SP7 is huge, Intel’s 9324-pin socket easily dwarfs it, as it is noticeably longer than the palm of my hand. The socket will work with Intel’s Xeon ‘Diamond Rapids’ processors with up to 192 cores, a 16-channel DDR5 memory subsystem supporting MRDIMMs, and PCIe Gen6 lanes.

Meanwhile, given that the socket is so massive, we would not be surprised if Intel’s 9324-pin socket will also support the Coral Rapids processors, presumably due in 2028 – 2029.
