We all know that B360, H310 but more importantly H370 chipset based motherboards for Coffee Lake processors will launch in April. However, things have been silent regarding the Z390 chipset. It now has surfaced, again. Perhaps you can remember that right after the Z370 there was the word that Intel would release yet another motherboard chipset called Z390.
Info leaked through a retailer and also a roadmap showed the chipset being listed.
The Z390 initially was the chipset for an 8-core Coffee Lake based processor, which was a rumor that later on disappeared again. At one point over at ASRock also some Z390 names leaked, the ASRock Z390 Pro4 – ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac – and Z390M Pro4 in specific. We noticed a Sandra entry for Supermicro a while ago. Until this week, the Z390 chipset was never heard from again, however now we can add MSI to the list. This week, AIDA64 got another BETA update, and guess what the change list is showing:
