With the launch of Coffee Lake, Intel has finally brought their first six-core and twelve-thread processors to the mainstream market. With Coffee Lake Intel has added Z370 motherboards, however during next week we should see a new wave of CPUs alongside with Intel Z390 chipset.
At the moment the list of upcoming Z390 motherboards is quite long and ASUS is the vendor that is offering more models. The list includes six high-end ROG Maximus motherboards, four mid-range ROG Strix models, three PRIME motherboards, six durable TUF models and, in the end, one entry-level Dragon motherboard.
ASRock has confirmed five models and at the moment there isn’t any Fatal1ty motherboard on the list. Furthermore since there aren’t mini-ITX models, we believe that this list isn’t complete yet.
Furthermore MSI has also indirectly confirmed Z390 motherboards. According to the product codes founded in the MSI software we should see no less than eleven models.
According to latest rumors, with the Z390 chipset Intel adds an updated version of current Z370. The Z390 chipset comes with native support for USB 3.1 Gen2, Wireless-AC 2×2 160MHz and Bluetooth 5. Furthermore with the launch of Z390, Intel might add the first mainstream eight-core processor.
