Revealed all the features of the new Intel H370, Q370, B360 and H310 chipsets, for Coffee Lake processors

It has taken a while, but we finally have the specifications of the Intel H370, Q370, B360 and H310 chipsets, intended for mid-range and entry-level Coffee Lake processors.

We have been talking about new Intel chipsets and motherboards that will come with these chipsets. Until now, for the desktop Coffee Lake, we only had the Z370 motherboards, which made it unfeasible to buy a processor from this new family, unless it was the i5 8600K and the i7 8700K, since they are both intended for overclocking. . The rest of the processors did not have motherboards to match and that is, it is absurd to buy a Z370 for a Core i3. It has cost, but we already have the specifications of the Intel H370, B360, H310 chipset and the new Q370 chipset.

New Intel chipset

We could say that Intel's strategy for months of only having one chipset for a whole family of processors has been a real mistake. These chipsets offer different characteristics, among which we find, fewer interconnection lines, fewer SATA, USB and M.2 ports, support for Intel Optane, and other characteristics that we will leave you in a complete table. The Intel Q370 stands out, which is a chipset intended for the business segment, apparently and it is the first time it has been introduced and it has some interesting features.
