If you own an Intel motherboard with a Z170 or Z270 chipset, you might believe that it only supports CPUs up to Intel’s 7th generation, known as Kaby Lake. Even the CPU socket’s pinout …
That’s cool, but is there a subset of features or cpu bound operations or something that makes it worth going through the trouble just to run a faster(?) cpu with slower memory?

Kabylake CPUs have a slightly better encoder/decoder for media but if that’s something you actually care about a new GPU is a lot easier to install.
But Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake have the same hardware codecs.
