>The decision to put two architectures on the same socket generated some confusion among potential customers. Motherboard makers need to specifically tell customers that X299 motherboards do not support all features with Kabylake-X CPUs (for instance by covering DIMMs with stickers).
>MSI and Gigabyte have brought a solution to this problem by introducing Kabylake-X only motherboards. Unlike most Skylake-X supported boards, these only have four DIMMs and slightly cheaper design.
>The Gigabyte X299 AORUS GAMING is an ATX board with four DIMMs and three PCIe slots. It also has two M.2 connectors. With this motherboard, you can only use Intel Core i7-7740X or i5-7640X, but you will never have the option to upgrade to Skylake-X.

I thought all X299 CPUs i5/7/9 7xxxX are Kabylake-X. Why did they split it? Why would they call some chips Skylake-X?

>Say the purpose of Kaby Lake X is to upgrade to Skylake X >make a mobo that doesn't allow you to upgrade
I fucking called it, Intel is moving overclocking to the HEDT chipsets, they're going to kill overclocking on consumer chips. If you want to overclock Intel yoi'll either have to buy the expensive HEDT mobo that allows you to upgrade later, or a much cheaper mobo that only support low core count CPU's.

The 4 core CPU's are Kaby Lake X, the 6 core and up ones are Skylake X.Basically Skylake X is the "real" X299 HEDT platform, Kaby Lake X are just the Z270 4C CPU's stapled onto X299 for no reason.
Josiah Gonzalez
It begs the question of why didn't they just release a cut down quad core LCC? Didn't sandyvag era hedt have a quad core with quad channel memory?
Julian Perez
>Is Intel retarded?
Yes. Buy AMD.

What if I want to use Thunderbolt 3™ and Intel Optane™?

The most pointless CPU, with the most pointless motherboard, on the most pointless platform.
Sasuga, Intel.

TB 3 will be opened up soon. As for Optane, it's a joke on consumer hardware.

And being a Croatian I can tell you we're terrible fucking leaders.
Ethan Reyes
did they wake up on march 1 and thought
"how are we going to fuck our self up this year" ?
did they had a contest on the dumbest move they can make?

Pretty sure team green is getting that soon, if they don't already.

Yes.

Nvidia will have it soon™.

But gamers nexus Is an Intel shill! Sup Forums told me so;
Nicholas Price
no shill can accept the abortion that is kabylake-x
Daniel Richardson
He should also drop Vega because its shit
It seems there is a full blast shill effort to shit on Kaby-Lake X
Brayden Foster
It's like bullying a retard, kabylakex is like a red headed step child that now needs special care motherboards because it doesn't fit in anywhere.
That it's going to sell enough to make an actual motherboard line for it make me a little sick.
Camden Hughes
Even hardcore Intel fanboys can't justify skylakeX.
Adrian Phillips
I was more on that kabylake-x is an abortion.
skl-x had potential to be an 'okay' cpu, if it just didn't have such an aggressive all core turbo, it would just be not as good a TR instead of being a risk to it's owner.
