Clarifying some Z97 features

[Brett Taggart]

Hey there.
I'm wanting to write a speech on the new Z97 chip-set, outlining its features.
 
Now before I ask: I do understand what M.2 and SATA Express is, so people do not harass me in the answers section.
 
I was wondering if you put lets say a 4670K into a Z97 board, will SATA Express and M.2 be available to be used?
 
There have been some subtle hints due to the ASUS ROG boards from Z87 had a M.2 Connector?
I saw at CES or ComputeX last year that ASUS also had a SATA Express connector on a Z87 board or was that for the upcoming Z97?
 
Thanks for reading

 

I hope I can get a definite reply soon as I dont want to go out there and buy these new products just for a quick question

Yes the new features will work with a 4670k, they are backward compatible. And the motherboard you saw with sata-E was z97

Do not hesitate to buy a z97 motherboard

I  understand a 4670k will work fine in the Z97 board as they have the same socket,but will those features work if you put an older cpu in the new board?

Yep. All of them will work.
