Is the Intel Core i9-10940X Precision 5820 Square ILM or Narrow ILM?

Hi all, I'm researching CPU cooler upgrades and would like to know the above. Most of my research so far points to narrow ILM, but I also have seen comments that the Core X CPUs can't be swapped with Xeons that use the same socket, which leads me to wonder whether it's actually square ILM.

They both are narrow ILM.  Core-X and Xeon processors can not be interchanged because of different motherboard chipset, Intel C422 vs. Intel x299.
