OyaYansa Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Revolution in the sector of computer components and gamers during the last hours. It seems that the new Intel Coffee Lake processors will not be compatible with motherboards already on the market. So at least it has announced the Twitter account of ASRock. Error or reality? Let's see what's happening in this whole thing. The eighth generation of Intel processors is expected to hit the market before the end of 2017. At first it was speculated that the Coffee Lake would be compatible with motherboards for the Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake models - the latter thanks To a BIOS update, and to the LGA 1151 socket used for desktop. If this were true, Intel's Coffee Lake processors could be installed on Intel 200 Series and Intel 100 Series chipset motherboards. So far it's clear. However, on July 31 ASRock revealed on Twitter that the Coffee Lake will not be compatible with these two motherboards, which are currently on the market. This is the screenshot that corresponds to the tweet: In it, user Evan Jensen asks if his Z270 Super Carrier base board (high range for the LGA 1151 socket) will be compatible, to which ASRock responds that "Intel Coffee Lake processors are not compatible with the 200 series motherboards ". Clearer could not be. But to curl the curl even more this message has been removed from the official account. Which leads us to suspect that something strange is happening on this topic. It is important to keep in mind one detail: Intel Coffee processors are going to be launched before the end of 2017 while the Intel 300 series arrives. So, what will happen?
