Alongside these processors, the company has also launches the new Intel Z370 chipset which is the only chipset at the moment that able support the 8th Gen Core processors for desktop PCs. Meanwhile, Intel stated that the new chipset doesn’t support previous gen Kaby Lake-S processors due to changes within the fundamental designs of the new platform.
