Yesterday Intel released a new series of processors as well as the long awaited B360 and H370-chipsets for cheaper motherboards. These motherboards can be paired with Coffee Lake processors, which finally allows you to build a cheaper system based on Intel's 8th generation. The new chipset mostly offers the same possibilities as Z370 with some new features.

In October 2017, during the introduction of Coffee Lake, many people were pleasantly surprised. For the first time in a decade the number of cores in mainstream processors manufactured by the blue giant increased again. Finally, because although Intel's eternal quad-cores were certainly not slow, competitor AMD showed that more cores also appeals to a considerable part of the mainstream audience. It did not take long before the largest desktop processor manufacturer released more than four cores in a socket 115x-package.
