The ark.intel page for the Xeon e7 8894 v4 says that the socket is FCLGA2011, however, I am not sure what exactly that means, for example, what would be the cheapest motherboard that has support for that cpu/socket? In addition, is this CPU designed to just work as one CPU or would you need to buy more?
 
Solution
Ya that would be the socket that it plugs into: Intel's LGA2011 socket. That particular processor is the top of the line e7 which is really expected to be in quad socket systems.

A refurb like that'll run you $3600

e3 = workstation i7 essentially
e5 = high end workstation or server use up to [strike]dual[/strike] quad socket I believe
e7 = top of the line server up to [strike]quad[/strike] 8 socket

EDIT: change e5 from dual to quad and e7 from quad to 8

I've just read on CPU world that the e7 8800 v4 line is compatible with 2011-1 motherboards. Is this true?



 


Not as far as I know the e7 v3 and v4 need the C602J chipset to work and it looks like the 2011 R1 most 2011 boards are the X79/X99 or the C2XX and use the 2011 v3 socket
