But can it run Minecraft?

You can teach it to play minecraft. Just don't accuse it of having an auto clicker. It may get offended and stop playing all together.

How many chrome tabs can you run open at once?

These are some awesome answers. Yes ram is the answer. However, you could run 18 processes in parallel. Or 18 vm s really slowly.

Does this processor fit an lga2066 motherboard?

You can use it with X299 chipset motherboard with LGA 2066 However, since the power consumption is large, I think that the original performance can not be demonstrated unless it is a good thing around the power supply

Is this cpu good for uhd gaming and vr

Yes, running 90 fps at 4K for UHD gaming
