No chipset? All the past generations of Xeons needed a chipset for some reason, apparently now they can do without just well.

Why do server motherboards have few components in their VRM with very small heatsinks, unlike consumer motherboards, which have many components in the VRM and giant heatsinks?

Why aren't the VRMs on home motherboards the same as those on server motherboards?
