No, this will be the family computer that does, facebook, internet, email, homework, music, movie, gaming and a little Boinc running in the background. Only way to sell it to the supreme leader...(Wife)

Confirmed. http://buzzfeednet.com/wp-content/up...reenshot_1.jpg
Here is Intel admitting it's existence: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/pro...p-to-3-50-GHz-

Currently it only exists as a changelog entry for an update to Intel's Management Engine supported CPU list on the X99 chipset.

Is that compatible with X79? Just curious... ;)

X79 is Socket 2011-0 (version 1). X99 is Socket 2011-V3 so the pinouts are logically different though mechanically identical. ---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_20...et_generations

Short answer = No. Sorry Z.

Well, that's actually good news. I can't be tempted. :)
