With the speed of light Intel is prepping the Coffee lake launch with up-to 6-core processors. As you guys have learned these Socket LGA1151 procs will not work on your Z270 motherboard, you'll have to buy a new Z370 motherboard. A new list appeared on the web.
It is still unclear if older processors like 6th and 7th gen LGA1151 are upwards compatible on the X370 chipset as well. Anyhow, you can expect Z370 and B360 Express chipsets for the new Coffee lake processors series. The first series of motherboards for "Coffee Lake" processors has been listed, VideoCardz assembled a list of motherboards. Intel Core 8th Gen will launch in October. The exact date is not yet confirmed
