MSI Motherboard with Z390 Chipset Listed in AIDA64
We all know that B360, H310 but more importantly H370 chipset based motherboards for Coffee Lake processors will launch in April. However, things have been silent regarding the Z390 chipset. It now has surfaced, again. Perhaps you can remember that right after the Z370 there was the word that Intel would release yet another motherboard chipset called Z390.
Info leaked through a retailer and also a roadmap showed the chipset being listed.
The Z390 initially was the chipset for an 8-core Coffee Lake based processor, which was a rumor that later on disappeared again. At one point over at ASRock also some Z390 names leaked, the ASRock Z390 Pro4 - ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac - and Z390M Pro4 in specific. We noticed a Sandra entry for Supermicro a while ago. Until this week, the Z390 chipset was never heard from again, however now we can add MSI to the list. This week, AIDA64 got another BETA update, and guess what the change list is showing:
Version: 5.95.4569 beta (Mar 09, 2018) Release notes:
- extended chipset information for Intel Skylake-D/SP/W/X IMC
- sensor support for Nuvoton NCT6797D
- motherboard specific sensor info for ASRock H110M-STX
- motherboard specific sensor info for ASRock Z370M-STX MXM
- motherboard specific sensor info for MSI B360/H310/H370/Z390-Series
- fixed: motherboard specific sensor info for Asus Maximus IX/X Series
- fixed: motherboard specific sensor info for Asus Prime Z270-A, Prime Z270-AR, Prime Z370-A, ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming, ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming, Strix B250F Gaming, Strix Z270E Gaming, Strix Z270F Gaming, Z270-WS
FinalWire added specific sensor info for MSI B360/H310/H370 and thus a Z390-Series, pretty interesting eh?

The way I see the Coffee lake Cpu`s is like a stop gap until Intel get over the shock from what AMD have managed to achieve with their new CPU`s, so not worth buying into at this point in the cycle and do not forget the issues with hardware bugs. If I were looking for cpu/motherboard upgrade I would wait until next year and unless intel can pull a rabbit out of the hat, AMD is likely to be the best option in 2019.
