ASRock Z370 motherboards for Intel Coffee Lake CPUs Surface
Photos of a series ASRock Z370 motherboards for Intel Coffee Lake processors have leaked on-line. Coffee lake is the 8th gen Desktop processor series that will support up-to 6 core processors.
Over at VideoCardz the photos of six no less than Z370 motherboards have been published. The lineup from ASRock includes Taichi, Extreme4 and Killer SLI/ac. The more budget-oriented Pro4 comes in ATX and MicroATX form factor. The last motherboard is the first Mini-ITX Z370 motherboard.

If the 8700K was 4ghz base clock with 15mb cache and 40 pci-e lanes i'd have upgraded. But since it isn't, i'll keep my money.

I mean... One could see it coming with AMD's naming schemes for their chipsets (B350, X370, X399 and the others) could potentially complicate things with Intel's new series, but damn...
It will be funny to buy new motherboards in the next few months i guess. Z370 being Intel, X370 being AMD, just adds to the confusion...
Btw, is the "new" socket still called LGA 1151, or they're going to add something, like a v2 to help?
Intel used B150, B250 naming scheme for their budget chip set. So if B350 is already taken by AMD what are they going to use instead? B370?

Good question. I mean, I don't think they would change it just because of AMD, but things will become more confusing down the line indeed

well i think intel is just pushing there limit into gaming more oriented processor because, intel single core scale a bit better and with 6 real cores will give extra gaming performance than more threads
most games, not all but they scale up to 4-6 cores... soo to have 6 real cores with the power of intel single cores, will just give them more advantage into gaming oriented than workstation.
maybe intel just give up the multithreading battle and going more deep in gaming battle, and we all know intels processor are aways better optimized for games, so this is huge advantage with that 6 new real cores. will see benchmarks and do conclusion after.
P.S.
also to see intel B350 and AMD B350 will be so hilarious
