Intel 300 series chipsets to integrate USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Gigabit WIFI

Intel 300 series chipsets to integrate USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Gigabit WIFI

Intel is going to release two new platforms in the coming months which consists of  the X299 HEDT based CPUs and the other is the mainstream Coffee Lake based CPUs. 

The upcoming Intel mainsteam chipset is known as the 300 series and we can expect that the top end chipset would be called Z370 which ironically sounds similar to AMDs X370 chipset.

Intel 300 series desktop processor motherboard will be based on the current LGA 1151 socket. Earlier rumours stated that the 300 Series chipset's Coffee Lake-S processor will provide 6 Cores 12 threaded CPUS, which is Intel's first in the mainstream platform to enhance the number of processors and threads. 

AMD has already put forward their 8 Cores 16 Threads and 6 Cores 12 threads CPUs at price point lower than Intel, although there are a few bugs, but the performance is quite good for the money. Now, intel is pushing forward its new CPUs. At this stage, Intel 300 series processors will be have integrated USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and Gigabit Wi-Fi which are some nice additions to this new platform.  

It is rumoured that Intel will release their Coffee-Lake CPUs in the later half of 2017.

Whats the Gigabit Ethernet headline about? Its not otherwise mentioned in the article or the Intel sheet, or was it meant to refer to the WiFi, not actual Ethernet?

(Who cares about WiFi on a desktop PC anyway?)

Unless Intel decides to move forward and bring hexa cores i5/i7s on this platform this will be another boring minor "upgrade" to only justify the 300 sticker on it.

OK now this 300 series platform I feel is taking the piss a little

Is there any reason why CoffeeLake won't work on Z200 series!? And why wasn't USB 3.1 Gen2 natively on Z200 series to begin with!?

Whats makes this even stranger is Intels inclusion of KabylakeX 4 core on the X299 platform when their seemingly introducing 6 cores to mainstream

So you will through out your Z270 MB just to get Integrated USB 3.1 and Gigabit WiFi? Sounds like a waste of money again.

I don't get it. Obviously there are people upgrading from older platforms than Z270. So what do you want them to do for a platform update? Just delay it until there are enough features that make it worth it for the previous platform owners? Because that seems like a poor business decision and ****ty for everyone else who now has to wait because someone who bought Z270 is upset that they are being tempted by two new features.
