Starting with LGA775, all Intel sockets have it the other way around; the fragile pins are in the socket, the CPU has just contact-pads.
I remember placing a chip in this board for the first time; scary as hell. Requires quite a bit of force, for something so fragile, to get the clamp down that holds the CPU in place.
