I'm considering upgrading the CPU on my Supermicro X11SSM-F motherboard because my current Intel Pentium G4560 isn't powerful enough for Emby to transcode a 4K stream on the fly.
Supermicro says said mobo supports the following CPUs:

Supermicro says said mobo supports the following CPUs:
- Intel® 7th/6th Generation Core i3 series
- Intel® Celeron®
- Intel® Pentium®
- Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v6/v5.
Now I'm wondering:
- why doesn't it support 7th gen (Kaby Lake) Core i5 and i7 CPUs? Don't they use the same LGA1151 socket?
- which CPU would you recommend? Based on what, just clock speed? Does it make sense to go for a CPU with integrated graphics capabilities such as E3-12x5v6 Xeons over their E3-12x0v6 counterparts?
