Uni-processor vs dual-processor

Super quick question referring to Xeons.  I see the 1600 series v1 v2 and v3 are listed as uni-processors.  Does this mean that these chips can only run in a single slot board?  Am I going to have to get a 2600 series to get 2 chips into a dual socket board?

Yes, all E5-1xxx are one CPU and the E5-2xxx are for one or dual CPU mainboards.

 

Also with slot you refer to CPU sockets and not to PCIe slots, do you?

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

1600s are overclockable, not what you asked but just tossing that info out there.
