What and when after z170

[you2]

What chipset comes after z170 and when will it be released ? I presume it will offer more pcie lanes for pcie ssd but perhaps I am mistaken.

Hum. No real details on z270 'cept 4 more pcie lanes.

+ a few PCIe lanes and so called official support of Optane system acceleration drives ? That last one is still in the dark what they mean with that and if it means the current gen will not support it at all.

PS The when , they kinda delayed kaby lake , so whenever they plan on releasing those CPU's. Rummors seams to be the delay was mainly based on still high stock of 6th generation cpu in the supply channels.
