19 Comments on Step Into a New World With New MSI Z370 Motherboards and Intel 8th Gen
Where Gaming M7, XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM?!
Z170 - initial new platform
Z270 - rehash of Z170 but add Optane support etc..
Z370 - rehash of Z270 but rewire a few pins for 6+ core CPU's etc...
the platforms are just tweaks of the previous, so most of the ground work has already been done 2 gen's ago.
In the end, everything is still based on ground work of decades ago, its one very simple principle expanded to what it is now, like... basically every invention and innovation.
