ASRock fills out range of 8th Gen Core Intel 'Coffee Lake' Mini-ITX boards
April 26, 2018

Recently, Intel announced 3 new 8th Gen Core chipsets aimed at the lower end of the market, sitting below the already established Z370. Those new chipsets are the H370, B360 and H310. Features such as the number of available PCI-E and IO lanes reduce as you step down through the range - although Intel did manage to bake in support for USB 3.1 Gen2 into the H370 and B360. For the uninitiated, USB 3.1 Gen1 is half the speed of Gen2, and is what we now have to call USB 3.0, according to the powers that be.

The cost of a chipset reflects on the cost of a motherboard and that way, we get a motherboard for every segment and price budget.

ASRock has been working hard to produce motherboards for all these chipsets.
