Shadow of War is basically all or nothing. And confirmed to support PS4 Pro/Scorpio. And confirmed no Switch, but I never expected that anyway!

I can understand that seeing as how the first game was good but if the sequel was just more of the same the sales would be kinda poor, CoD, Fifa and the like can get away with it but not RPG-like games.

It makes sense yeah. But jugding by all the content we know so far, this game is way way more than Mordor. This is imo looking to shape up to a Game of the Year.

You make a good point and also highlight one of the big problems here. Especially with the likes of CoD, they should not be allowed to get away with releasing the same thing every release. Someone at some point should step in and say "this is breaking some kind of regulation" selling the same bad egg with a different shell.

Just spotted this myself. Nice find man :)

Love the gaming 9's M.2 heatsinks, not sure about the rear IO RGB lighting.

All this lighting and RGB creeps me out personally. Waiting for Asus for a variety of reasons (looks, BIOS, OC socket*, etc.).

*would be nice to have the option to enable TBM3.0 for all cores in the BIOS.
 
Did anyone else notice there is a wifi version of the Asus Crosshair VI Hero now?. It's on the Asus US site but I haven't seen pricing or launch info and it seems to not have been covered by most sites yet.
 
Coffee Leak-S (LGA1151-Rev.2?) Related News

CFL-S (LGA1151-Rev.2?)

CFL-S Core i7: 6 core 12 threads, LLC 12MB
CFL-S Core i5: 4 cores 8 threads, LLC 8MB
CFL-S Core i3: 4 cores 4 threads, LLC 6 / 8MB
All three of the above line-up GT2 graphics are built-in.

CFL-S Pentium: 2 cores 4 threads, LLC 3 / 4MB
For models with LLC 4MB, GT2 integrated graphics are included.
For models with LLC 3MB, GT1 integrated graphics are included.

CFL-S Celeron: 2 cores 2 threads, LLC 2MB, GT1

1. CoffeeLake-S (hereafter referred to as CFL-S) is available from Celeron to Core i7.


2.​
CFL-S Core i7 is powered by 6 core 12 threads, LLC 12MB. Compared to the previous year, the number of cores / threads and LLC capacities increased by 50%. The Rebalanced Smart Cache Hierarchy * applied here has not been applied compared to Skylake-X (which probably overlaps in a six-core segment, which will appear a month or two ahead of time).

(*: Skylake-X reduced the L2 cache capacity from 256KB to 1MB, instead of reducing the L3 cache capacity from 2.5MB to 1.375MB and changed the cache policy from inclusive to non-inclusive. I think it will help to improve the IPC. It is a feature that does not apply to KABI Lake-X.

3.​
CFL-S Core i5 powered by 4 cores 8 threads, LLC 8MB. Compared to the previous version, hyperthreading increased 100% of threads and increased LLC capacity by 33%.

4.​
CFL-S Core i3 is powered by 4 core 4 threads, LLC 6 / 8MB. Compared to the previous version, Hyper-Threading has been removed, but with 100% increase in core count, the number of threads is the same and LLC capacity has increased by 100%.

5.​
All three of the above line-up GT2 graphics are built-in.

6.​
CFL-S Pentium is powered by 2 cores 4 threads, LLC 3 / 4MB. Compared to the Pentium except for the G4560 and above, the number of threads increased by 100% due to hyper-threading. For models with LLC capacity of 4MB, GT2 integrated graphics are included. For models with 3MB, GT1 integrated graphics are included.

7.​
CFL-S Celeron is powered by 2 cores 2 threads, LLC 2MB, GT1. There is no unique change here.

8.​
The number of pins in the CFL-S is 1151, and the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the CPU package are also physically the same as those of the existing SKYLAKE / KABIREK. It is the manufacturer's consideration for the manufacture of new motherboards. (To be able to recycle parts such as socket as much as possible.) However,

9. Motherboards that support CFL-S are restricted to use with CFL-S only. It is said that the 'Refreshed Z270 chipset' will be called Z370 and the socket name will also be differentiated by LGA1151 v2 and so on. You can not use the CFL-S on a Z270 board that is not named Z370, nor can you use a Kbilek sub CPU on a Z270 board named Z370.

10.​
The Z270 and CFL-S will live together until this year (called Z370). In the first quarter of next year, the official 300 series PCH Z390 will be released. Unusually, this PCH is called Canon Lake PCH, not Coffee Lake PCH. (The 200 series was called Kabira Lake PCH.) Maybe it's a double line that the chipset will support up to next year's Canon Lake, right?

11.​
Therefore, during the second half of this year, the Z270 (which will be called Z370) is the only supported platform for CFL-S. Q / B / H series chipsets will be updated to 300 in the first quarter of next year.
Q370, Q360, B360, H370, H310​
These include Q370, Q360, B360, H370, and H310.

12.​
I do not know why Kavi Lake-X is coming out (...)

I'm aiming for X299 with the Kaby Lake X i7 7740 CPU. I'm done with that socket 115x platform and their use of pigeon dung in between the chip and IHS.

This is my board.
 
x299 is looking really nice. But not counting word/browsing. I'm 95-99% a gamer.
So i can't justify to my self to get new CPU/MB/RAM. Just changing the GFX once and a while :D
