                            <![CDATA[ Some high-end motherboards for Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors have been tipped to include a dual-lever retention mechanism called "2L-ILM." We've seen something similar before with LGA 2011, but that a server platform. Boards with 2L-ILM will live alongside standard ILM (1L-ILM?) variants that are cheaper to produce. ]]>
