Intel Z390 chipset to replace Z370 with Z370 going end-of-life

Intel Z390 chipset to replace Z370 with Z370 going end-of-life

We've talked and discussed everything and anything Z390 over the past few months now. Basically, the two chipsets are really similar but would bring support for 8-core Coffee lake processors. Word out now however is that Intel might be simply replacing Z270 with Z390. 

Initially, we all expected Z390 to exists next to Z370 and if we can believe a few newly leaked roadmaps, Intel is planning to phase out the Z370 chipset this quarter with Z390. Earlier on, we already posted a news item pretty much indicating this new rumor, The Z370 to get rebranded as Z390. Of course, take the news with a grain of salt.

  

   

But in essence, the Z390 chipset would remain the same as the Z370 chipset, manufacturers who want to offer the support that the chipset originally promised, will have to revert and do this in a more traditional way: with external controllers such as those from Asmedia, reported benchlife.

Z390 has been discussed a lot, it should be a chipset intended for 8-core Coffee Lake CPUs, but these are not expected to launch anytime soon. Z390 will get an LGA1151 socket using the traditional DMI 3.0 chipset-bus (which basically is an x4 PCIe link lane up/downlink. Similar to the Z370 chipset, it'll have 24 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes. Also similar is storage at six SATA 6 Gbps ports with AHCI and RAID support; and up to three 32 Gbps M.2/U.2 connectors. LAN remains the same as well. 1 GbE, Intel recommends their Wireless-AC 9560 card for the motherboard manufacturers to pair this chipset with for 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5. 

Look and compare below, the two official chipset block diagrams.

Above (for comparison) Z370 - the differences really one are USB 3.1 gen2 and Intel Wireless-AC (CNVi)

it will still be faster than anything AMD has .... it will sell very well on that merit alone.

I would like more clock speed and less cores.

Yea ....if I could get a used 8600k/8700k at a good price I would be happy.

I don't think core wars is going to be a factor for gaming....fast clock speed/ yes

Yea whatever, not sorry here but this is not the 2600k vs FX 8XXX anymore. AMD is caught up fast. Their IPC is close enough, and with more clock speed intel will be in more trouble.

Alot of people are fed up with Intel. I have personal Intel fanboys that have sold their rigs to go Zen+. Some of them even had 7700k rigs.

Intels speed advantage is dwindling. Core wars for gaming is there, just not like it is with the HDET platform core wars.
But anyways, Intel can F***ED for all I care right now.
My 3930k system was my last intel system for a long time, and I will be replacing my dual 1366 Xeon server with a single R7 1700 that performs better.

God damn, this is getting stupid. There is literally no reason for Intel to sit on the *actual* information about either the Z370/390 or the octacores anymore.
