What about i8 and i9? I have the factory stock default cpu that came with the unit
R2 has X99 chipset and LGA2011-v3 socket. The X99 chipset supports both Intel Core i7 Extreme and Intel Xeon E5-16xx v3 and E5-26xx v3 processors
i9 Intel Core X-series processors requires LGA2066 socket. It is for X299 chipset on for example Area 51 R4/5 motherboard. i9 X-series cpu is not compatible with R2 motherboard.

PS there is no i8.

This forum post has a nice listing of possible upgrades not knowing which CPU you currently have installed.
