The appearance of CPU-Z screenshot with the expected characteristics of the engineering processor Coffee Lake with six cores gave new hope for compatibility with the LGA 1151 processor connector, as it was mentioned in this image. Moreover, we have already seen evidence of the compatibility of such processors with motherboards based on the Intel Z270 chipset. In beta versions of BIOS updates, similar boards also began to slip innovations, unique to the processors Coffee Lake, so the "evidence base" is growing by leaps and bounds. In other words, the six-core processors of Coffee Lake should work in existing motherboards with the LGA 1151 connector.
Why then did Intel need to release Z370, and even promise in six months to release Intel Z390? First, motherboard manufacturers are interested in the frequent updating of the chipset assortment. Secondly, according to Bits & Chips resource from Twitter pages, only Intel Z370 is able to reveal all the functionality of Coffee Lake processors. This means that on some compromise conditions, these processors can work in older motherboards. Recall that Intel Z390 in the next half-year will bring innate support for Wi-Fi and USB 3.1 Gen.2.
