Mother board for core i3 8100

[Akmal_1]

The new coffe lake 8th generation has been launched. But intel said it wont be working on any mobo other than with z370 chipset. Now thats bad because those mobo are very expensive. So the affordable mobo like ga h110m s2 will not get bios update for 8th gen cpu support. Then it will not no good for budget gaming pc build if mobo goes out of the budget. So i just wanna confirm does other affordable motherboard will get update for 8th gen cpu support or i have to break the bank and buy z370 mobo?

Only Z370 MB for now. Cheaper boards will not appear until next year

If happy with a 4c/4t design, I'm sure an equivalent speed i5-7300/7400 can be had with a B250 board for much less money, for identical PC and performance at same clockspeeds.

It wont come anywhere near i3 8100. The coffee lake cpu, despite being and i3 and with 4/4 is much better than the i5 7th gen series. It beats even the budget ryzen 3s and even ryzen 5 1400 if u pair the i3 with the new 3200 mhz ram.
But if Akmal is looking for a budget, then better either wait or get the ryzen cpus.
Just my two words on the question

that means in 2018 the cheaper boards will get the support for i3 8100??

Thats not really true,the 8100 is between an i5 7400 & 7500 performance wise.

In theory ,Ill believe it when they actually come out,its been hinted to me that b360 will be an oem only release meaning h370 will be the cheapest mainstream model.
I woudlnt expect a massive price difference from the cheapest z370 board personally,I dont think youll see $40-50 boards at all for the coffee lake cpu's,more like $70-80 boards.

Can i put i3 8100 on Gigabyte H110-S2 here is the link https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-S2-rev-10#ov

The 8100 is clocked a few hundred MHZ higher, which might account for the 4-10 fps improvement over the 7400....; the 8100 will make more sense once the less expensive B/H-series mainboards start shipping....


If you want 8th gen, I'd start with something at least with 6c/6t thread...; I'd try hard to start with 6 cores if building a gaming rig today. (8400/8600K/8700, 8700K )
(One year ago, 4c/8t was king)
