Marketing stands apart from Engineering and Design. I recall my motherboard, an Extreme Edition Intel board, didn’t show that CPU as compatible in the BIOS back then. You wouldn’t have been able to install it and make it work. In theory, I could rebuild the QX9650 CPU, use an Intel DP45SG motherboard, and 8 GB 1333 MHz Kingston QVL RAM today to get it running... still have the parts scattered around. The last time I used it was processing SETI data on Windows 10 Pro at home.
