Intel recently launched its new generation of Core desktop processors, offering increased physical core counts and higher clock speeds.
The new chips use the LGA 1151 socket – like Intel’s Skylake and Kaby Lake chips – but are not supported by older chipsets.
This means that if you want to upgrade to an 8th-gen Core i3, i5, or i7 desktop processor, you must buy a new motherboard.
Currently, the only 300-series motherboards available are the Z370 high-end boards – which support overclocking and features aimed at enthusiasts.
More 300-series motherboards are expected to launch in the coming months.
