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.
