Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

Being realistic about release for CPU release & compatible mother boards. When do you think ocuk will have full system builds (thinking along the lines of 8pack systems) ready for purchase?
I've a 6 year old system needs upgraded. I'll stick to Intel to keep the rysen replys out of it.......

Eh, based on rumors and leaks, wait for launch day and see then.

Sadly it's fact, Intel are also not launching the other CPU SKU's until then, like the i3 8300, and the i5 8500, and then there's the ones I am interested in, the low wattage desktop i7 8700T, and the i5 8400T. It's annoying but not unexpected, and hardly a deal breaker for most people here, and from the look of things there will be Z370 boards starting around £120, so not stupidly priced.

8 Pack said he was working on them already, but can't reveal anything due to NDA's. I'd be surprised if they didn't have pre-built systems available on the 5th/6th October.

Yes it is interesting that they have keep the same LGA pin count, they must have a reason, I am sure the new boards with get a BIOS update for compatibility with the old CPU's. Also, socket 1150, which came out in May/June 2013, and was not surpassed until the Z170 was launched in August 2015, so a total of 26/27 months, was only outlived by 1155 by a total of 4 months, Jan '11 until May/June '13. So 1151, will technically be the longest serving socket, from Aug '15 until Aug '18 (best guess), which is 36 months. So if you are happy owner of a 6700K, and your board goes pop, chances are you'll be able to buy a cheap board for it easier than any other socket. :)

Socket 1155 motherboards and CPUs were being made as late as last year as there are commercial systems still shipping with them.

This is why I have been able to stay on socket 1155 since launch as I could replace my initial motherboard when it went kaput three years after it launched.

I don't want another short lived socket - Z370 looks like it will be gone within a year and looks like a rebadged Z270 and I don't know why they have made sure Coffeelake does not work with it. So if I look forward another two to three years,then what is the point?

If I am going to spend decent bucks on a motherboard I might as well skip forward to the next Intel socket which will give me a few years of motherboard releases.

At the very least if the Z390 works with 10nm Intel CPUs it might have a reasonable lifespan.

They are still being made, as long as you don't want a normal consumer board, and Intel are still selling the i5-2400, both boxed, and tray, and a couple of other 1155 CPU's. I was talking about the life of the sockets, not how long manufacturers are making them for, since there are still plenty of manufacturers making socket 775 boards. :)

I appreciate that's subjective (the last sentence). My graphics card is crapping out now and again so want something very soon. If your right I'll be happy :)

Unless you work for Intel and are giving us some inside info I don't think you can say anything based on rumors or leaks is a 'fact' :D
Technically they haven't even announced Coffee Lake yet, everything we know is based on rumors and leaks.

Might be worth just dropping them a quick call, and asking, it's not like you are asking them to break NDA. Just ask if they will have full systems on "whatever the lauch date maybe" :)

I'm gonna read between the line and guess you mean Coffee Lake for desktop, as the 8th Generation (Coffee Lake) CPU's have been out since August, and you can go buy a Dell system with one in today. :) But yes I see where you are coming from, if you are only interested in the enthusiast segment, then all the official dates and products are NDA.

They did note that 8th gen desktop processors will come this fall in their 8th gen U laptop SKUs press release, but that's about it. Interesting that they note that their first 10nm parts will come with their 8th gen series, I wonder what those will be?

Seems to conflict with the supposed rumors that 10nm Cannonlake has been delayed, though the timeframe is vague in their press release.

It's a rumor, but supposedly 10nm is delayed to end of 2018. If true, it doesn't seem like we'll be getting consumer 8 cores until H2 2018 at the earliest.

Thats pretty close to 2019-2020 and we'll have an all new design then, with yet another Intel chipset... Someone other than Intel needs to start working on a chipset. VIA maybe.

That would be interesting having VIA chipsets again for current Intel processors.
 
Are mainboard sales stagnating or on the decline? if so then new cpu's and chipsets is the only way forward. The cost of some of these high end boards are exorbitant.
