Latest Intel mainstream is Coffee Lake (iX-8XXX) on LGA1151 (v2) with the Z370 chipset. Max of 6C/12T. Important: Both Skylake (6xxx) and Kaby Lake (7xxx) chips also use LGA1151, but they are not compatible with the 1151 (v2) on Z370 boards, and vice-versa
Latest Intel HEDT is Skylake-X on LGA2066 with the X299 chipset. Max of 18C/36T. On the AMD side, you have Ryzen on AM4 with the X370 chipset (up to 8C/16T) for mainstream, then Threadripper on TR4 with the X399 chipset (up to 16C/32T) for HEDT. Yes, AMD decided to make a mess of things by usurping Intel's standard chipset designations. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of FORC5 Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2017 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] latest socket ? what is the newest CPU socket, chipset etc ? from my limited research looks like LGA 1151 and Z370 and coffee lake bridge am I close thanks fp Date: Saturday, December 23rd, 2017 ***Caution Tagline Below*** **Tallyho** ******************************************* Repetition is the death of art. *******************************************
