Don't worry, I'm sure they'll prevent these parts from working with any existing LGA-1151 motherboards. Intel doesn't want you to get frostbite.

They don't seem to realise that their main competitor is going to support Zen for the next three refreshes. I think it just goes to show Intel is like a dinosaur and doesn't realise yet that it's world is about to come crashing down on it. I own a 7700K and if the 8700K supported my Z270 mobo I'd probably buy it as an upgrade. Now when I feel like I need to upgrade I'll just go and buy a Zen CPU and stick two fingers up to Intel and they'll never see any money from me again. Intel are just short sighted profit orientated morons who can't see more than 6 months ahead. It goes to show that any management moron can run a monopoly but once they face a bit of competition they panic and flounder. Look at the Skylake X fiasco I mean it looks like a train wreck. I've not seen one positive review. Sad and pathetic really.
