Dual LGA 2011?

[captvash]

Has anyone been able to see or hear of the new LGA 2011 boards?
I'm waiting to get the new SB-E5 Xeons and wondering if there will be a dual socket LGA 2011 by maybe Tyan or Supermicro.

LGA 2011 supports dual-socket and quad-socket designs. I'm quite certain somebody out there will produce them.

Thanks now I just need to guess price estimates for the 8-core chips... Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll be under $1k and I can put 2 on a 4 chip board for scalability.

I would expect intel to charge through the nose for four-socket enabled processors and the boards probablly won't be cheap either. So building a 2-socket system with 4-socket capable parts will probablly be financially stupid.
