Intel Confirms - Coffee lake Will not work on current motherboards
At it's online press room some new info was posted on Coffee lake (8th gen) processors. Among the things posted are a couple of box shots of the upcoming 8th generation processor, which lists some info.
That packaging now confirms what ASRock already told, the processors require an Intel 300 chipset based motherboard. Considering that it is on print at the box, yes you will not be able to use the new processors on say your current Z270 motherboard.
Coffee Lake (8th gen) six-core processors are based on the LGA1151 socket, but will require a new motherboard chipset. They have a TDP of either 65 or 95W. Currently the release lineup looks like this:
| Processor | Cores / Threads | Clock speed | Turbo 2.0 | 1-core Turbo 3.0 | L3 | TDP |
| Core i7-8700K | 6/12 | 3.8 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 or 4.7 GHz | 12MB | 95W |
| Core i7-8700 | 6/12 | 3.2 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 12MB | 65W |
| Core i5-8600K | 6/6 | 3.8 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 9MB | 95W |
| Core i5-8400 | 6/6 | 2.8 GHz | 3.5 GHz | 3.8 GHz | 9MB | 65W |
| Core i3-8350 | 4/4 | 4.0 GHz | na | na | 8MB | 95W |
| Core i3-8100 | 4/4 | 3.6 GHz | na | na | 6MB | 65W |
As you can see there will be be two 6 cores models with HT (12MB L3), an two without HT (9MB L3). The four core models (8MB L3) will not get hyper-threading, which confirms earlier rumors.

do we have any news about backward compatibilty of these cpu with z170 and z270 yet?
actually asked the questions before the article im not quite sure how come it ended up here, but that sucks then no 8700k for me to much cost to upgrade from a 7700k

Not that I'd need Intel to confirm that: I assume that for every "new" CPU they release.
I'm not sure I understand your question, the tittle says: "Coffee Lake will not work on current motherboards"
Lmao
Intel is disappointing me since 2012 and after 2017, it will be hard for me to ever go Intel again soon.

Wake me up when they start making them 8 core. At this rate the competition will hit 16 core mainstream before they do 8

Not yet.
My magic ball says Intel will release some info about it at it's online press room, soon.

Yup, same. From what I recall you had Ryzen 1700? Planning to get same one for home rig, with x370 Taichi and 16gb 3200ram.
Recently made a Ryzen system at my work with 1800x, it is fantastic bang for the buck.

And intel did it again, another whole system change lol, and now they says "40% higher performance" @50% more cores? that´s less IPC or less Base clocks? lol

This will require a new motherboard as well. And judging by AMD past it is highly unlikely that Zen+ CPUs will be compatible with AM4/TR4 motherboards.
Still, unless there is pinout difference, it is highly likely to work on selected motherboards if BIOS is upgraded by manufacturers.

Looks interesting, I Curious on how it perform, let alone how well it will overclock and the amount of heat it would put out while clocked high. If this do an good job then I may eye this for an upgrade path way, instead of the X299 mobo and cpu that I been eyeing.
I Just hope that it doesn't need an outrageous amount of voltage to overclock.
