When it seemed that the Z270, H270 and B250 motherboards would be compatible with the new Intel Coffee Lake processors … ASRock replies on Twitter that they will only be compatible with the new 300 series motherboards that will be launched at the end of the year.

Intel Coffe Lake will not be compatible with Z270, H270 and B250 boards

User Evan Jensen asks ASRock if the Z270 Super Carrier motherboard (ASRock's top of the range for the LGA 1151 socket) will be compatible with the new processors. ASRock's answer has been quite clear:

We do not know if it is a slip by the ASRock Community Manager when the matter is unknown or Intel has decided to launch a new series of motherboards for these new processors. It seems to us a really strange decision since the new Intel Coffee Lake are exactly the same as the Intel Kaby Lake but adding two more cores, with the i7-8700K being the maximum exponent of the mainstream platform.

If it is finally confirmed… we believe that this is a really wrong decision and that many users will be angry to know that they will not be able to upgrade to six-core processors, after acquiring a platform so recently. Recall that these boards were launched in January this year and were not exactly cheap.

What do you think about the decision to acquire a new motherboard to be able to have a six-core i7 ? Do you think it is adequate or do you prefer to go to the new AMD Ryzen ? We want to know what you think!
