It looks like Intel's 300 series motherboards will support 8-core processors.

Interesting. I read some other article earlier today (I forgot the source, sorry) that the Z390 chipset might be dropped and the Z370 could just be 'silently' upgraded with the difference between the two. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but Z390 is starting to look pointless by now.

If they do go with a new socket/chipset then the only thing I think they will be able to market is that they now support 8 cores.
I don't know how they will sell this tbh, for the first time in a while AMD has managed to land a few hits and this will be another thing to troll intel on, We've had 8 core support for years. Intel might carry on the way they are and potentially lose a bit of the market to AMD or they might decide to change their game and stop relying on AIB licence fees as a strong source of income.
