The answer to your question is, I believe, in the article that grandfather post linked to.

"What Platform Did It Run On? Intel did not answer this platform directly, however it was clear that the CPU was aimed at the LGA3647 server-based socket given from our examination of the demo system. It was unclear how Intel was going to promote this as an extreme workstation-type system, however Intel did note that they expect only a select market to be interested in this type of processor: a niche of a niche."

Hmm I don't see whatever you are seeing. It's running on a server socket. That's normal for an extreme workstation, which is what Intel publicly suggested it was for because they said it was for a very select market.
