The difference is that AM4 will be supported to 2020, and you don't need a X470 board to run ryzen refresh CPU (a response to your earlier argument about X470).

It doesn't matter how long will it be supported. Matter is that is was released.

We already know that z390 board can support coffee lake, but still that needs to be confirmed by intel. The question is: will z370 support the new 8-core CPU, or will intel force you to buy new mobos with new chipset again?

9 generation Core will come for 300-series chipsets. You know it, but then you still questioning of what you know?

Aura89:

Gotcha, i understand your mentality now and will treat your mentality with what it deserves: ignorance.

When no arguments, insults follows...

Aura89:

And then there's the part where you're saying why aren't we saying the same thing about AMD, who introduced AM3+ in 2011, are replacing it in 2017, whereas Intel decided to introduce the 1151 in 2015, and release an incompatible in all which ways 1151 in 2018..so, 2.5 years vs 6? So...what's there to compare?

It's not Intel's fault that AMD was incapable to make any new architecture in 6 years. It doesn't change the fact that AMD has a new socket every new architecture and sometimes in between.

Aura89:

Are you really asking these questions?

I'm not. I'm saying that your approach is very narrow-minded. That's from bible. Right on topic.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

nhanphan1990:

A lot of wasted words and time there man haha. I read his response, this guy is hopeless.

I didn't even read his response, i blocked him after i posted it, since it was obvious he's a hopeless case

nhanphan1990:

1. The lifespan of a socket does matter. Are you trying to dodge the argument that you yourself made when comparing x370 and x470? As I said, you do not need to purchase a x470 board to run ryzen refresh.

Lifespan of the socket is an arbitrary factor that matters to you so much only because it's something you can beat Intel over the head with. Kinda like when AMD zealots would constantly proclaim how they do better in price/performance, and my favorite... performance/watt. The thing is, the vast majority of consumers purchase a new motherboard when they buy a new processor. Why? Because hardly anyone buys a new CPU every year or two due to the performance improvements being so small between consecutive generations. And when they finally are 2-3 gen newer, the latest motherboards will almost always have large improvements such as faster memory standards, new PCIe gen, the latest USB version, and faster storage interfaces. Only a fraction of a percent of consumers upgrade their processors with such frequency that this would be a factor to them. And that small minority can be found on a handful of PC enthusiast forums.
