X99 mobo and Intel Xeon

[sblantipodi]

Hi,
is there a list of Intel Xeon processor supported by next X99 motherboards?

That varies between motherboard manufacturer, however they may list that on their websites. However, as most X58 and X79 motherboards, there should not be any issues with Xeon CPUs on consumer (enthusiast) motherboards, but some maaaay need a BIOS update for it to have the right microcode.

are you sure? as I know there is few xeon supported by X58 and X79,
some xeon requires a different socket.

I'm aware that there are Xeons for other sockets, but usually those sockets are not paired with a "consumer" or "enthusiast" PCH, like socket 1567 or socket 2011-1. As you said X99, and it comes only in socket 2011-3, just as X79 is socket 2011, and X58 is socket 1366, I assumed you were talking about Xeons in socket 2011-3.
