will bios be updated to support these high core count chips? dropping a 12 core in might make a nice render box.

    I'm sure if EVGA supports a xeon then EVGA will update bios.

    But, see, that is my question. will it be supported?

    ASRocks X99 WS board will support all Xeon v3s including the 18-core in case EVGA doesn't. I'm sure EVGA will support the 12-core at least though.

    don't think I can afford the $4k 18 core ;) A 12 core would likely be a nice upgrade moving from my sr-2. thanks for the info on ASrock.
