Someone please tell me,what # is the latest cpu socket ? Is there an AMD board,that runs DDR4 ???
Current generation of Intel CPU's is 6th gen core series. I.e. i3/i5/i7-6xxx model number CPUs. These go into LGA1151 boards, with the 100 series chipsets (Z/H/Q/B170). Higher end boards like the Z170 series will have the new Intel Alpine Ridge 2 add-in chip onboard, which offers Thunderbolt 3/ USB 3.1 support via USB-type C connectors. Middle range boards will offer USB 3.1 via ASMedia add-in chips, and lower end boards will stick with native USB 3.0 from the Intel PCH.
Next gen Kaby Lake CPUs launching beginning of 2017 come with a PCH refresh to support native USB 3.1. Other than that, they don't bring a lot new to the table over the current gen SkyLake CPUs + PCH solutions.
