Intel’s Coffee Lake CPU’s will not work with today’s Z270 Motherboards

PC World tweet

PC World quotes a tweet reply from Asrok confirming that the Coffeee Lake CPU’s will not be compatible with the current Z270 motherboards. This does not impact consumers directly, but has a massive impact on home builders and the need to update to a Z370 motherboards for further CPU upgrades. Nice, if true, for AMD and their new Ryzen CPU’s that works with the z270 boards. Is AMD coming back as a contender?
