what chipset is coming after z270

Isn't coffeelake next?

Aye Coffee is next but it's only an optimization of Kaby so maybe the same socket...

Cannonlake is next, on intel's roadmap. Coffeelake is after I think? I just hope one of them come before the end of year. Kabylake was a huge disappointment

Nope next maintream gen has new socket.

Coffeelake is a new insertion in between Kaby and Cannon.

It's just Kaby again but up to 6 cores, and is compatible with Z270.

Also still 14nm.

Besides the X299 yes? I'm on the fence of what to buy... tempted even by Ryzen for a bit but that's silly talk

I believe Coffee (after Cannon?) is going to be when Intel make all i7's a minimum of 6 cores rather than the 4.

I think?

I hope.

I have an itchy wallet and want something shiny.

Coffee and Cannon will overlap in 2H'17, but they're in different segments. Cannon will be limited to server and laptop CPUs. Coffee will replace Kaby in the mainstream. Cannon mainstream CPUs aren't due until 2018.

Yes. X299 is the enthusiast series. Sporting a 4 core Kaby Lake with 100mhz more clock, no IGP and additional +30W TDP!
The rest are going to be 6-8core Skylakes with 140W-160W TDP.

To put in perspective the Ryzen 1800X has 95W TDP and the 1700 65W.

I'm on Skylake and wonder if it'll be worth me jumping to coffeelake?

Intel slides said 15% performance improvement over Kabylake. As it's the same architecture that probably means it just has a higher base/boost clock due to process refinement. Might see 5Ghz base 5.2Ghz boost or some such.

Double post

So near or around 30% from skylake. Cheers mate

+1

That's what I thought would happen due to Coffeelake having a 6 core 12 thread model.

Only in very select circumstances.

I didn't think all i7's were going to 6 cores, Presumably they'll give the 4 core i5's hyperthreading if that is the case?

You would hope Ryzen would speed up Intel's roadmap for a large upgrade.
I'm still here with a 2700k looking to what's next but nothing has tempted me yet.

Will be an odd release window considering Kabylake only came out 2 months ago in January.

By the sounds of things Intel accelerated Coffee Lake launch to counter Ryzen, hence the relatively short Kaby stint.

Kinda puts me in an odd situation, Get a 7700K for my SFF build now or wait up to around 6 months for this new CPU.

Decisions decisions.

No else noticed that the title asks what motherboards are next but then the OP asks what CPUs are next.

Then the best bit you all got muddled up hahahahaha
