Will Haswell-E CPUs be compatible with LGA 2011 motherboards?

Nope, they will be on LGA2011-3 socket ( X99 platform), there will be no backwards compatibility with Haswell-E on X79 motherboards

I was this close to getting a pumped up AMD build, but Intel's upcoming Haswell-E has convinced me to just wait it out. I have an ASUS Sabertooth X79 motherboard, which is LGA 2011... but the Haswell-E CPUs are a certain LGA 2011-3. Are there going to be dedicated LGA 2011-3 motherboards (X99?) or will Haswell-E CPUs work with LGA 2011 boards?

According to this article, Haswell-E CPUs have the same amount of pins as Haswell CPUs, but the layout is different. As a heavy editor and enthusiast, the whole DDR4 and 16 threads thing is having me ready to wet myself.

ANYWAYS. . . uh, that's all actually.

nope, new CPU/motherboard/RAM time with H-E and X99 w/DDR4.

looks like no backwards compatibility for SB-E/IB-E X79 platform.

Sorry friend Haswell-E will Not be backwards compatible with X79 boards.
