I have MSI B250M Gaming Pro motherboard and I'm using i7-7700 atm...I hear that to use i7-8700 I need to changemy motherboard? How about AMD Ryzen? Can I use AMD CPU that is on same level with i7-8700 without change my motherboard?
 
Solution
The 7700 is for socket LGA 1151, and the 8700 for LGA 1151 V2, but the V2 is omitted for some reason, even on Intel's own product page...
It has caused quite a bit of confusion, to say the least.
