Linuxhardware reviewed 3 motherboards using Intel’s Granite bay chipset (E7505). These motherboards are from MSI, Iwill and Supermicro. As the E7505 was intended to be a workstation chipset, there’s a realistic chance that those computers would be running linux. But unfortunately nobody reviewed performance using this operating system up to now. They did:

Both the MSI and Iwill boards stayed pretty even in this department, neither one holding a significant lead in any benchmark.”
