Even without counting the overclock I'm at a significantly higher clock rate, faster RAM, twice the cache and two extra cores. I outperform a 6400 at both single threaded and multithreaded benchmarks. Are they just mad that it's not shiny and new and don't care about performance?

The Oculus reporting tool reported it as not fit for purpose.
Current CPU which is quite old... Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz
my motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V LX
Graphics card GTX 980
I ran a 3D Mark test (look for the free test version) and anything above 9000 points is acceptable.
I got a score of 9892 which is way above the recommended score.

I'd imagine you're fine also, it's just annoying that they put out this application to let you know if you're compatible but then all it's doing is checking if your model number is over a certain number.
It's not so much that you "need" a newer CPU but more that we had to set a target for developers and chose a CPU that felt like it had adequate performance at a reasonable cost. Some slightly older CPUs will actually work just fine, and there is not compatibility problem.
It also has to do with the way we were benchmarking CPUs, using single threaded performance as the mark. Depending on the game or engine, multi-core CPUs may performance better, it all depends. But, most likely, you'll be fine. Thanks.
