MSI registers a bunch of Z490 Motherboards
Yes, it is not exactly a secret that the upcoming Comet-Lake-S processors (up to 10 cores) from Intel will require a new motherboard (Socket LGA 200). So it will not be a surprise either if things start leaking.
The source of many brands, products, and name leaks remains to be Eurasian Economic Commission website, this round there are new entries to be found on the Z490 from, lots of MSI motherboard names.

Exactly, good Z390 motherboards are powerfull enough to handle 10core Coffee Lakes, hell my Apex XI doesn't even hit peak VRM efficiency with the 9900K at 1.35v...
This is a srsly garbage move from Intel...

I think the attempt of delivering pci express 4.0 is the reason why they started with another chipset. May it be?

They should kill it unless they get PCIe 4.0.

PCIe 4.0 is a feature of LGA 1200 but Intel pulled PCIe 4.0 support from their initial LGA 1200 CPUs.
As mentioned above, there is literally no reason to buy these boards.

No one sane is going to buy this. Intel should not release Comet Lake S but just lower the price of the current 9900k and below, that's all they need to do. This is just stupid. This board does not even support PCIe 4, if at least they offered that.
