C240 chipsets CPU compatibility

Are the new chipsets compatible with older s1151 Xeons by chance? I understand the old boards are not compatible with new CPUs, but I thought maybe it works the other way around.

Unfortunately no.

That sucks.
I bet they could, but Intel made sure to prevent it one way or another.
