Intel Readies Higher Z390 Chipset for 2018 Launch

It turns out that Z370 Express won't be the highest-end desktop motherboard chipset for Intel's 8th generation Core "Coffee Lake" mainstream-desktop processors, with the company planning a higher Z390 Express chipset for the second half of 2018, according to a leaked company roadmap on 300-series chipset roll-out. Intel is launching its first Core "Coffee Lake" processors this October, along with the Z370 Express chipset. The mid-range B360 Express, H370 Express; and entry-level H310 Express chipsets could launch in Q1-2018, which is also the time when Intel launches the Q370 and Q360 chipsets for corporate desktops.

Native USB 3.1 Gen2, new Thunderbolt chip, and maybe SATA 3.3 (supports Shingled Magnetic Recording [SMR] for 25% capacity increase per platter).

I understand the features of the Z390. But then, what is the difference between Z370 and Z270 ?? Or Z370 is just a shitty re-brand with faked limitations imposed on the Z270??

What he said, It is the same Chipset since Z170.

But I am looking forward to INTEL utilizing better Direction Media Interface. DMI 3.0 has become thing of a past.

Then why anyone would buy a Z370 instead of the newer Z390? Makes absolutely no sense, sorry...
