Intel Confirms - Coffee lake Will not work on current motherboards

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.

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.

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
