I think it's the probably motherboard chipset, not the CPU. I've successfully installed OI on an i3, i5 and i7. However, I wasn't ever able to get anything to get booted up on five different Z68 based boards. I got to loading ISA drivers and then failed. Swapping the motherboards out for P67 based ones but keeping all other parts, no problem. Googling around I found that it looks like the chipset was too new for OI, and that support would be implemented eventually.
