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

Wccftech is reporting that coffeelake support maybe extended to 100 and 200 series motherboards with a supporting BIOS update from the motherboard manufactures (obviously read this with a pinch of salt).

The chip will be compatible with the LGA 1151 socket and rumors are that board makers will extend support of Coffee Lake onto 200-series and even 100-series platforms. The chip will be Intel’s first hexa core product and will be based on the 14nm process node.

Good news if true. Sucks if you don't own either though as the z370 will no doubt be more expensive.

It's not about me though is it and that's what the entitled fail to see.
Upgrading is for the less than 10% so they are not significant and when they grasp that maybe they'll stop whining.
Intel usually gives you two years per socket so deal with it or .....
In this case it's being signposted that Z370 might be a short term interim chipset that only supports CL.
Given the choice of Z370 in a few months with support only for CL or nothing until 2018 with Z470 which support 10nm only then the former is better than the latter surely? No one is being forced to buy it.
It's only the uninformed or entitled that whine. Buy it or don't, makes zero difference to me.

It's really not about entitlement and besides you have somehow made it all about you and your lack of concern :p

Incidentally why is upgrading for the 'less than 10%' and irrespective of that, why is that any kind or argument against having a platform designed to support future chips where it can reasonably do so?

Added to the earlier points, another is that the main beneficiary is Intel's revenue figures at the literal expense of the consumer for little valid reason. I'd rather a corporation have to work harder for my money and the consumer to get more for their outlay.
