Intel Z390 chipset motherboard spotted in SiSoft Sandra

The first motherboard based on Intel's upcoming Z390 has been spotted inside the SiSoft Sandra database, which suggests that its partners have already started testing these motherboards.

As the same SiSoft Sandra database was responsible for the leak of an upcoming Intel B360-based motherboard last month, it does not come as a surprise that the Z390-based motherboard showed up as well.
Originally spotted by Videocardz.com, the motherboard comes from SuperMicro, bearing the SuperMicro C7Z390-PGW model name, and it includes an unknown CPU, most likely something from Intel's 8th generation Core Cofee Lake-S lineup which was leaked earlier.

Hi,
Had to cancel my 2-850 pro 256gb's from Amazon
Those a holes sat on the order I placed on Wednesday 8th morning and I finally canceled Tuesday night because that is the first day they were supposed to be delivered and it hadn't even shipped yet.

I got lucky though BestBuy had the same price for them locally so I'm picking them up Saturday sometime :)

I prefer to buy locally where I can, or at least order direct then ,if they are too far away.
I have seen way too many businesses closing shop because of Amazon and Co.

YES!!!
