• Z370 motherboard still adapt the LGA 1151 socket design as same as Intel 200
series & 100 series.
• Due to the limitation of BIOS and ME (Intel Management Engine) , Coffee Lake-S
CPU will only be used in conjunction with the Z370 & other 300-series motherboard,
and will not work with the 100 and 200 series.

Intel Smart Cache Size Enhancement
• Intel Smart Cache shares the actual L3 cache memory between the cores of a multi-
core processor. In comparison to a dedicated per-core cache, the overall cache
miss rate decreases when not all cores need equal parts of the cache space.
• Bigger CPU cache size also result in a lower probability of cache misses, which will
significantly upgrade performance.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology
8th Gen Core CPU with Turbo Boost up to 4.7GHz*
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 accelerates CPU and iGPU performance for peak
loads, automatically allowing processor cores to run faster than the rated operating
frequency if they’re operating below power, current, and temperature specification
limits.
• Compared with Core i7 7700K (Turbo Boost 4.5 GHz),all-new Intel 8th Gen CPU (Core i7

    Intel Smart CacheSize Enhancement • Intel Smart Cache shares the actual L3 cache memory between the cores of a multi- core processor. In comparison to a dedicated per-core cache, the overall cache miss rate decreases when not all cores need equal parts of the cache space. • Bigger CPU cache size also result in a lower probability of cache misses, which will significantly upgrade performance. 12MB 8MB 12MB 8MB 9MB 6MB 9MB 6MB 8MB 4MB 6MB 3MB Intel Smart Cache
