Over the years, Intel's frequent replacement of interfaces has caused incompatibility, and even the LGA1151 interface has remained unchanged. The 200 Series motherboards do not support the Eight-Generation Core.
According to the plan, Intel will launch a new generation of high-end motherboards Z390 later this year. At the same time, it will bring the first mainstream eight cores, still affiliated with the Eight Generations Core Coffee-S sequence, and the technology will still be 14nm.
Then the question is, Will this change the interface? Will it be incompatible again?
In the 3DMark database, a Supermicro Z390 motherboard has been modeled as C9Z390-CG-IW, and the collocated processor is a Core i7-8700K, and a Core i7-8700T is an existing eight-generation Core model. .
this means, The Z390 motherboard will continue to maintain the LGA1151 interface while supporting the existing six-core, future eight cores.
of course, More crucially, is the current Z370, B360 motherboard capable of supporting the new eight cores? After all, this kind of collocation will have more realistic meaning. Existing platform users can upgrade directly.
Considering that the eight generations of Core Duo and 300 series motherboards were all debuted under the pressure of AMD, the time was too short and design considerations were inadequate, resulting in incompatibility to some extent understandable. The new mainstream eight core and Z390 motherboards should be Well-planned, theoretically as long as Intel is willing, fully compatible with existing platforms.
To see how Intel chose, after all, technical problems are not the only factor.
