Intel Coffee Lake platform is expanding with new SKUs.

Still no trace of 8-core CPU though

The next two months will be filled with CPU and motherboard releases. Intel Coffee Lake platform will soon receive more SKUs, including Core i5-8600 (nonK), Core i5-8500, Core i3-8300 and at least five Pentiums and Celerons.

The launch of new SKUs will (finally) be accompanied by cheaper motherboards, such as B360 or H370. For Pentium and Celeron processor you may want to wait for H310 (the mainstream platform).

We are looking at 220-200 USD pricing for new i5 SKUs. The list of new SKUs and pricing (for BOX) according to Provantage:

Core i5-8600 : 220 USD

: 220 USD Core i5-8500 : 200 USD

: 200 USD Core i3-8300 : 135 USD

: 135 USD Pentium Gold G5600 : 93 USD

: 93 USD Pentium Gold G5500 : 83 USD

: 83 USD Celeron G4920 : 62 USD

: 62 USD Celeron G4920: 51 USD

It appears that Z390 motherboards and 8-core CPU are not launching with the new SKUs. The rumors circulating in the web are suggesting that Z390 may launch in Summer. It is expected to compete with Zen+ 8-core CPUs which are coming in April.
