Hi team, I'm building up a computer with the i7-6900K over the next month... Whenever it's released. So I'm looking for a motherboard.
Per the specs, it seems like it'll support any motherboard with x99 2011v3. What I don't fully understand, is why a motherboard that supports 22nm Haswell processors will support 14nm Broadwell processors.
I had kind of assumed that the motherboard would make direct contact with the transistors and this would be impossible. So my questions are first will any x99 2011v3 motherboard work with Broadwell-E and second, why the transistor count doesn't matter. Maybe a dumb question.
Thanks,
