Its flat, no pins, instead the pins are on the motherboard and the CPU uses contacts, all LGA CPUs use contacts not pins.

Is it easy to install a CPU?

Yes- http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-032258.htm

Just remember stock heatsinks already have themal compound on them, after market coolers don't.
