Even the lower-end H310 chipset based motherboard from ASRock supports the 8-core monster (cough!) from Intel 🙂
If there’s something we hardware enthusiasts know is this: there’s a lot of information – and confirmation – on a single sticker, in a single product. Fresh out of a leak from Videocardz, ASRock have seemingly confirmed two expectations (we can’t really call them rumours by now). First, that there are actually 8-core Intel CPUs incoming, looking to hold the fort against AMD’s Ryzen 2000 series and Zen 2 CPUs when they launch. Second, that these 8-core CPUs won’t be exclusive to the Z370… ehrm… Z390 chipset Intel will launch alongside its 9th Gen processors. So, users will (apparently; be mindful of your sodium chloride, people) be able to pair a cheap H310 motherboard and an expensive Intel 8-core CPU – seems like loads of system configuration war fun from now on, doesn’t it?
