Intel 9 Series Chipset (2 Comments) (link)
 Monday, 12-May-2014  14:57:45 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Intel's 9 series chipset has officially arrived, but as Tech Report point out, it's a bit strange because there's already been lots of boards released and reviewed (and linked on OCAU). This chipset launch is unusual in another way, too. As far as I can tell, it's the first time Intel has introduced a new core-logic platform without an updated CPU alongside it. The recent Haswell Refresh is little more than a speed bump for last year's silicon, so it doesn't count.

Anyway, plenty more coverage and reviews around:

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 on LanOC.
Intel i7 4790 Haswell Refresh Slower than previous Gen 4770K? on MadShrimps.
Core i7 4790 Haswell Refresh processor on Guru3D.
ASUS Z97-A and Z97 Deluxe motherboard on Guru3D.
MSI Z97 GAMING 7 on Vortez.
ASUS Z97-A on Vortez.
GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK on Vortez.
Intel Z79: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1, MSI Z97 Gaming 5 and ASUS Maximus VII Hero on HWHeaven.
Intel Z97 Motherboard Round-Up: EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte on HotHardware.
GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming G1-WIFI-BK Black Edition on PCPerspective.
MSI Z97 GAMING 5 (Intel LGA 1150) on TechPowerUp.
ASUS Z97-A motherboard on Tech Report.
ASUS Z97-A (LGA 1150) on eTeknix.

In the forums there's a preview of MSI's Z97 boards as well as a preview of GIGABYTE's Z97-SOC Force board, and general discussion in this thread.
