I hope new 8th Gen of Intel processor will be compatible with Z270.
That will extend life of these nice ROG Z270 motherboards Apex, Code, Extreme and Formula.

Than Cannon Lake will be compatible as well.
Upgrade from i7-7700K to 6 core model with 4.2GHz Turbo will be great.
Rumors say 15% improvements. They probably think on 15% more performance per core,
because 2 more cores multi threaded performance will be much better of 8th Gen than 7th Gen.
God know these nice ROG Z270 line deserve extended life time.

Off course ASUS could revitalize some of them but ROG line is big and bad to serve for only one generation.
Because ASUS ROG Z270 line is maybe strongest ever with many fantastic models
Strix 5 models
Hero
Apex
Code
Formula
Extreme

Visually, I can see that the design is different. For a more in-depth comparison, go to the ASUS website for each motherboard. There is a function to compare then.
