In a move to future-proof their platforms, MSI announced BIOS updates that will enable support for Intel's new 14th generation non-K CPUs on their 600 and 700 series chipset motherboards. While lacking the overclocking abilities of K-series chips, the new Core i9, i7, i5, and i3 processors promise the same core and thread counts in more energy-efficient packages thanks to lower TDPs of 65W and 35W. MSI Launched 14th Gen Intel Industry insiders note this expansion of Intel's 14th gen lineup could win over more mainstream users. "By supporting these CPUs, MSI protects their customer investments and ensures a smooth upgrade path." On the technical front, MSI's B760 motherboards stand out with features like an extended aluminum heatsink on the VRM to keep power delivery cool under load. Power users will also appreciate per-core overclocking and other utilities in MSI's Click Bios software. With 14th gen support ensured and competitive specs, MSI's 700 series provides an enticing upgrade option for those seeking increased CPU performance without the cost of a new platform. Only time will tell if the non-K strategy pays off for Intel, but early adopters can feel confident about the future with MSI motherboards. Just before CES 2009 officially opens, MSI has already sent a preview of their Mac Air look-alike with the X-Slim X320 -- a 13.4" Atom-powered netbook.
