Will the current nMP support an upgrade to a Broadwell cpu?

Will Broadwell and Haswell chips share the same form factor?

Am wondering if I can buy a nMP now and eventually upgrade it to a Broadwell chip.

 

[Peace]

Does Broadwell include the Xeon CPU ?

Nevermind. Just read elsewhere that motherboard will change too.

Nope but the nMP 7,1 should as it's pin compatible with the haswell EP. New socket, ddr4, usb3 baked in and 18 cores lol.

Pin compatible yes. Chipset compatible is another story altogether.
