List of updated motherboards

It was recently revealed that Intel was going to launch new 'F' processors, which are simply models without integrated graphics (iGPU). This raised some doubts about whether Intel was getting rid of those faulty processors, in which they only disabled the iGPU. In any case, this should not represent any difference in the final price of the processor, compared to the models that do come with integrated graphics.

CPU-Z has also been listing the new Intel Core 'F' processors. As we are fully entering the second quarter of the year, its launch should not take too long.

The Coffee Lake stepping R0 processors are a mystery, since we do not know what improvements they will introduce to the architecture, but other manufacturers such as ASRock and Gigabyte have already updated their BIOS to support them.
