Are they still using the 22nm process the used on the z170 chipset or did they move it to the 14nm+ node? Seems intel has a habit of making their chipsets on the previous larger node. What is there reason for this? Is it due to using up all the capacity on processors or is it just to give them a larger margin when selling the chipsets to mobo manufacturers? Z270 would be more compelling with a 14nm+ chipset as it would lower the total system wattage and give off less heat as it basically has almost identical functions as the z170 chipset so the lower process would translate into less power and heat since it relly isn't doing anything more than z170.
