Coffee Lake Processors will not be compatible with Series 200 Chipsets

Coffee Lake Processors will not be compatible with Series 200 Chipsets

There has been a bit of confusion about upcoming Intel 6-core Coffee Lake being compatible with the current motherboards like thr Z270 series. Coffee lake makes use of the same socket and as such people expected (or had hoped for that).

It is now confirmed that you cannot use Coffee Lake on existing motherboards. In Specific it was ASRock who unraveled this mystery with a tweet: 
 


 

As to why Coffee Lake cannot be used on Z270 remains a mystery though. The new processors will likele be introduced in late August or September  with their accompanying Z370-chipset. 

The presumable i7 8700K will have a 95W TDP, 3.7 GHz base clock, 4 GHz boost for 4/6 cores, 4.2 GHz for dual core and 4.3 GHz for a single core (likely 2 threads). Then there will be a 95W part with 3.2 GHz base clock and 3.4 GHz boost for 4/6 cores, and 3.6 GHz boost for 1 or two 2 threads. The last SKU is a 65W chip with a base clock of 3.1 GHz but 4/6 core turbos to 3.9 GHz. Dual core boost is 4.1 GHz while single core goes up to 4.2 GHz:

I hope Intel will have come to their senses when I upgrade in 2022, but the odds are against them.

And here I was seriously considering selling my Skylake i5 and switching to the 6-core i5. I have no idea why I thought Intel would allow three CPU generations to be used with a single chipset, the socket compatibility aside. History certainly doesn't support such foolishly optimistic notions. Sure, rumours have been repeating that possibility for a long time, but as we all know by now, after Hilbert has said it quite a few times, Intel couldn't care less about press or tech sites anymore, so nothing concerning Intel is official (trustworthy) information before the news site managers (and everybody else) can actually read the stuff from Intel's own web site.

Part of massive scheme. Not only they bribe, but I am also certain to boost sales of Mobo's for every new Intel processor.

DISGUSTING. :bugeye: To be Honest, I thought that now that AMD has given them hell on all fronts Intel will stop this disgusting practice and use the same socket all the way for couple next years. However no, they are still doing the same mistakes.

Well better for AMD. My next build for myself will be Ryzen, question is when as i'm waiting for Ryzen Pro and Ryzen 2, want to see what will happen with those. Recently I've made Ryzen 1800x workstation at my work, and have to say its fantastic for its price.

Go AMD.
