Intel Z390 motherboard spotted in SiSoft Database

Intel Z390 motherboard spotted in SiSoft Database

We already talked a little about the fact that Intel would/might be releasing another chipset called Z390 later this year. That is next to Coffee lake 6-core processors on what is to be the Z370 platform. A Z390 motherboard now has surfaced in the SiSoft Sandra database.

Intel has an 8-core 14nm Coffee Lake processor in the works. The information surfaced from an XTU errata log is showing change-log entry that reads out as "[CFL] Added support for 8,2 core,", see below. CFL obviously is short for Coffee Lake.  

 
It would be an interesting move from Intel, as typically they design one desktop processor and base all models off from that one proc. To create an additional processor holding 8-cores is very unusual. If correct, this would be an 8-core/16-threaded part in the mainstream segment, and that would mean serious competition for AMD Ryzen 7.

The new info is derived from videocardz, who spotted the unit in the Sisoft database. it is listed with a 6-core proc (we assume the procs will be backward compatible. The entry comes from SMC (Super Micro).  While originally intended for release late 2017, I do expect a launch Q1/Q2 2018 realistically with how incredibly low stock is for Coffee lake processors.

WOW, however I'm already afraid of those price levels. This will surely be way more expensive mobo+CPU combo than Ryzen 7.

Why a new chipset for an 8 core version of Coffee Lake? Is the 8 core variant seriously not supported by Z370 or something!?

I literally only just bought the Z370 Apex! Be a joke if the 8 core won't work in it

No it's quite logical, you need new mobo for 8-core because intel n̶e̶e̶d̶s̶ wants your money..

this is horrible. so many new chipsets make brand new mobos obsolete.

It is no surprise intel is an Israeli company...explains all of their conniving, back stabbing, money grabbing actions.

Z270 for 4-core, Z370 for 6-core, Z390 for 8-core, X299 for 10-core, sounds legit, it's Intel we are talking about.
