I think these mobos will be entering the market pretty soonnnnnnn.
Yes, so Intel will now claim longer Socket 1200 longevity!

By the way, speaking of socket longevity... remember the 1151/v2 scam? When Intel said the motherboards for generations 6 & 7 would not be compatible with gen 8 and 9 CPUs, even though it was the same physical socket?

Check this out...

I have one of those Chinese boards, and I can confirm it will boot and run DDR4 memory with any Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake chip.

What AMD and Intel are doing with these BS naming schemes is anti consumer and both should be punished/fined.

Not as anti consumer as staying silent, then denying, finger pointing at mainboard makers, letting games and Nvidia be blamed, refusal to honor RMAs, or any of the other shenanigans Intel pulled with broken rapture lake, but still really bad.

AMD had a reasonable naming scheme with the 7000 mobile parts. It told the user exactly what generation of zen was in the product.

People hated it because it required you to understand the significance of each digit, which is realistically the only way you are going to get that information as part of the product SKU name given the number of variables in play.

Due to the backlash AMD went with a more Intel like naming scheme which is objectively worse.

Those Coffee Lake "B0" stepping parts that were drop-in (only requiring BIOS mod) compatible with existing 100/200 Series mainboards were all low end parts, just as Intel is doing here with re-badging low-end parts. e.g. the fastest among them (by far) was an i3-9350K or KF. Any non "B0" stepping all required physical pin mods or taping and BIOS mod.

These are ES board like playing lottery
At least with Erying the quality is asured.
And then we have this ones if you want 100% functional chip:

Is more expensive, but fully functional. And still is a combo that looks and feels like a low-mid tier board, which is pretty much decent.

Intel could have a very hard time trying to sell their stuff considering this competition. and don't forget AMD too.

Why so ? It's decently priced it's a 6+8 Config + a decent iGPU
