Skylake or above a requirement for D400 series

The D415/D435 specs say that a Skylake CPU is a minimum requirement. Is this true, or will they still work on older generation CPUs?

From the datasheet:

Minimum System Requirements

• 6th Generation Intel® Processors (Skylake) and above.

• Ubuntu*16.04/Windows*10

Here we see similar info:

https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000025567/emerging-technologies/intel-realsense-technology.html System Requirements for the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D400 Series

The Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D400 Series are validated to work with the hardware and software listed below.

Hardware

Platforms with 6th Generation Intel® Processors (Skylake) and above.

Operating system

  • Linux*
  • Ubuntu* 16.04
  • Windows® 10

Connecting the D400 Series cameras to any other platform is not supported.

NB this suggests it's a testing / validation issue, not a hard requirement. (I did see this on yet another min spec page, but can't find that again).

I learned today that the new 400 Series cameras are compatible with any Intel or ARM processor - chip architecture does not matter any more. The only hardware requirement is a USB 3.0 connector.
