Z270 support Intel Optane Memory, 16 and 32GB.
What is with X299? Support or not.
And how many M.2 slots have Apex, 4?
I think I saw 2x ROG DIMM.2.
Extreme only have 1, but PCI-E slots could be used with adapter for extra M.2.
Only mad man could invest in Z270 now when X299 is here and Z370 almost finished. I hear in September.
New Coffe Lake is i7-7700K only with 6 cores. How someone could buy CPU with 4 cores if some games profit from 6, maybe even 8 I didn't look most CPU demanding games. How...? With Ryzen and Threadripper i7 4 core go in retirement. Well deserved retirment after 7 years of serving.
And multi threaded performance between i7-2600K and i7-7700K are not even 70-80%. I would like to someone estimate results are devastating I believe. For 6-7 years and more than 5 generation. It's time to easy say goodbay to Intel i7 4C/8T.
That not mean that i7-6700K and i7-7700K are bad, or mediocre EVEN I7-4790K, but for next build customers should turn to something newer.
OK they like Intel mainstream, small power consumption, Mini ITX motherboards, they used on that, OK.
Coffe Lake 6C/12T 95W unlocked for OC is almost here. It would be best trick if Intel solder him as Sandy Bridge, that would be real joke.
