Hi there, back again now that the new CPUs are out, and more confusion:

New generation i5 - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zrLYvV
Last generation i5 - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CW7dyf

Why is it that there are no motherboards listed for the new generation, but there are motherboards for the old generation, when they seem to use the same socket? Is there more to CPU -> Motherboard compatibility than just the socket type?

With the new Coffee Lake chips having 6-core variants, Intel has changed the way power is delivered to the CPU through the pins, making old s.1151 motherboards incompatible with the new processors.

And as of yet, only Z370 motherboards have been launched.
