The chipset doesn't influence the CPUs that the board can support. It's the socket pinout and BIOS/firmware.
If the 8 core CPU is called Coffee Lake and works in 300-series boards, then I find it astonishingly unlikely that it wouldn't work in a Z370 board (which is a 300-series board).
I mean, anything is possible, but that'd be a pretty awful move on Intel's part.
If that were the case then Z270 (which just came out) should support 6 core chips. As if Intel didn't know they had 6 core chips coming??? Yeah right, they knew and they chose to not ensure compatibility. They are pissed off and bitter that they were forced to give us a 6 core chip under $500 so now they will punish us with relentless motherboard releases for each new chip design. My opinion of course.
It may also have been a problem of backwards compatibility too.If that were the case then Z270 (which just came out) should support 6 core chips. As if Intel didn't know they had 6 core chips coming???
Holycrap overclocking is boring nowadays from that video. lol
7800X is a 6 core chip under $400If that were the case then Z270 (which just came out) should support 6 core chips. As if Intel didn't know they had 6 core chips coming???

Umm, 200 series boards were meant for KBL and support all KBL CPUs. The same with older series chipsets, as far as I know.If that were the case

Someone seems pissed off & bitter, but I promise it's not intel..
Can't you just accept the fact that the power delivery needed to change for their new cpu's?
Moonbogg needs (and I say this in good humor, Moonie ) the custom title of "The Hyperbolic". Mods, can we make this happen?

I admit to this. I like this about myself. This makes things exciting and interesting, but its not on purpose. Its my passion, baby. Can't help it.
I am exactly on point (as usual actually).
" I care because it affects my... comrades"
Hahahahaha LOL . no but really I can totally see where he is coming from. So when they drop pinnacle ridge on us in Feb Or March its just gonna be a drop in upgrade for those who have X370 Am4 motherboards? or are they gonna do an intel here and make us all upgrade to X470?That's bizarre. There's no attack on anyone & nobody "screwed us for nearly a decade"
Are you Donald Trump?
Never mind.. I won't waste any more time on this.
We'll just have to see. I hope Intel does the right thing and allows 8 core Coffee Lake CPUs to work in Z370 boards.
How does the 6900k and the 6950x fit into your cache analysis. No cache restructuring/reorganization there? Or?They might, but 6 cores might remain the sweet spot for those who game and do rendering tasks.
A 5GHz OC is much less likely at 8 cores due to the extra heat and power.
The cache may need to be reorganized to be more like HEDT chip cache, and it will end performing more like a HEDT chip on games.
Coffee Lake is exactly what many hoped for. A 6 core that sacrificed essentially nothing while adding two extra cores, I would NOT expect the same when adding another two cores.
What if we die-shrink it to 10nm+?They might, but 6 cores might remain the sweet spot for those who game and do rendering tasks.

That is an actual Intel picture. Back when they still offered consumer "gaming" motherboards. My Intel X79-SLI board even had skull on the HS for the chipset.Oh yeah, That Pic OR Gif is Bad @XX I like it!! Is there anything like that for AMD?
Sounds like you picked the wrong CPU to begin with, If its not working for you at 3.7 even if you got a 4.1 chip it wouldn't make enough of a difference to notice. Its your money man if you think you made a mistake by all means buy a 8700.
Ryzen has never been the best gaming chip, it is however the best multi use chip as far a price/perf goes.
I'm starting to have second thoughts now big time. Sounds like Z370 and 8700k is only going to be a one trick pony. I am not into that. I was under the understanding that there was going to be a possible drop in upgrade for 8c/16t on the Z360.
If thats not the case for sure then I think its time to cancel the whole Z370 idea and give Ryzen another shot. Cause as Im hearing it right now sounds like AMD Pinnacle is going to be a drop in for X370 and thats what Im looking for is an upgrade path for the future not some one trick pony where I have to buy a new fricken motherboard every 6-9 months.
so do R7 1700 run cooler then R7 1800x and which is less likely to have the Linux Bug?I had an 1800x at stock and it ran hot as hell and had the linux bug so I was cursed with a double wammy..
