Intel's Diamond Rapids will use LGA9324 packaging

Intel.

Intel's Xeon Diamond Rapids processors will use the company's all-new Oak Stream platform, which will adopt a brand-new socket with over 9300 pins, based on a test tool that Intel currently offers to its partners (discovered by @harukaze5719). 

The new LGA9324 socket for Intel's Xeon 7 'Diamond Rapids' processors will — as the name suggests — have 9,324 contacts. This is up from the 4,677 contacts used by Intel's Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids CPUs, and is also up from the 7,529 contacts used by Intel's Xeon 5 Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest processors.
