Does anyone if this new Intel chip is compatible with OS X? Can OS X support 10 Cores and 20 threads?

I bit the bullet and bought one for the X99-Deluxe II board by ASUS. After some reading and experimenting(?) I got it up and running this afternoon on Yosemite (10.10.5). I will see if I can get to 10.11 in the next few days....maybe.
I am running about a 40% OC to get the Geekbench score shown.
