CPU compatibility with Xenon Phi ?

[Hanif_M_]

I am having hard time finding information on CPU compatibility with Xenon Phi's, if there is any.

Will the Xeon Phi 31S1P and the MPSS 3.4 work with i7 4820k ? Is there any restriction on CPU ?

Also, the Read me file for Windows of the driver says that the currently supported OS are:

Microsoft Windows* 7 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows* 8/8.1 Enterprise (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows* Server 2008 R2 SP1 (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)

However, on this forum https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/508601, there are some users using Windows 8.1 Pro without any problem. So, I'm unsure whether using the 8.1 or 8.1 Pro makes any difference for the card.

I appreciate your help.
