Hi there, just a quick question
I have a msi z170 mobo, and i was wondering if the new 8th gen intel cpu's will be compatible with the mobo.
I know we don't have much information about coffee lake, i'm just looking for opinions and theories.

kaby lake is only workable because the chip architecture is basically the same just refined. this is a first for intel in my experience. if coffee lake is just another refinement of sky/kaby lake it may/might work.
I doubt that it will work. intel makes the chip sets too, (I don't know it for a fact I just know its true) I think the next gen (coffee) will not even work with the 2 series motherboards
