The release notes for a version of Intel Rapid Storage Technology (pictured above) leaked some interesting tidbits of information about some upcoming Intel desktop platforms.

"The X299 chipset and its socket, LGA 2066, is only a year old, so we don’t expect X399 to use a different socket."

They might as well make a new socket, since Intel doesn't allow new chips to function in motherboards that are only a year old.

Exactly, the z270 z370 scam the 1150 1151 b.s. perfect examples though the former was especially disgusting. I want a refund for lost performance due to meltdown/spectre.

AMD stole their name. The naming scheme is tainted now due to that copycat with x370 and x399. They might as well use a new.

Yes, AMD should change it since Intel will taint "X399" with a platform that will only be useful for less than a year whereas AMD's will be good for 2 years or more.

Way to spread lies or just demonstrate your lack of knowledge. Intel's HEDT chipsets have always been current for multiple years.

x58: Nov 2008 - Nov 2011
x79: Nov 2011 - Aug 2014
x99: Aug 2014 - Jun 2017
x299: Jun 2017 - ? At least 2019

That's the previous 4 generations, each one lasting no less than 2 years 9 months before getting replaced.

its less than a year old so you dont expect intel to change sockets? you silly man. you know intels gotta get those profits coming in. id be more shocked if it kept the same one

I disagree that Z270-Z370 was a rip off by Intel. Supporting 6 high performance cores instead of 4 has to take a better set up and needed differentiation.

The slow roll out of the H and B chip sets was painful but I suspect hurt Intel more than anyone else. It would have been much better for them to have been out long before the refreshed Ryzen + line.

Now do that for Z-series and sockets. Especially the Z270 to Z370 and the new Z390 (Bonus round: Socket on all these even back to Z170 vs their CPU support). Meanwhile, AMD's plans are possible changes to chipsets (Recent X470, which was just moving from PCI-E 2.0 links to PCI-E 3.0) but maintaining the AM4/TR4 socket. The entire point was a snarky criticism of Intel's short-lived sockets and chipsets. A point which flew right over your head by taking it literally.
