i7 in a Mac Pro late 2013

I can't find anything online about this subject.


Is it possible to put a i7-4930K processor in a Mac Pro late 2013? It has all the same specs (LGA-2011, 40 PCIe lanes, PCIe 3.0, 22nm, TDP 130W, even the same release date) as the cores that come with the Mac Pro but is just labeled as an i7. The only topic I saw was with the older Mac Pro towers is that the firmware needs to be updated. If thats the case then where would I find such a thing? I have seen almost every hacintosh builds only use an i7 over xeon's because of the cost. I'm new to the insides of computers so any info will help! I also don't know if I should wait until they might release new Mac Pro's this summer.


Thanks,


Matt
