Is it possible?

 

I was planning on getting the Taichi Ultimate Z390 and putting an 8700K into it, and upgrading to a 9th gen chip later on.  I thought it the 9th gen was backwards compatible on both ends, but my co-workers have told me they might not be.  I've done some google searches and gotten zero results for my use case. 

 

Anyone know?

I am writing to you... from SPACE!  I live in the middle of nowhere Northern California, and have Starlink.

Yes the 8700k will work on a z390 board. What won't work is buying a new 9th gen chip and putting it in a z370 board. To put a 9th gen chip in a z370 you have to put an 8th gen chip in to update the bios, then put the 9th gen chip in.

Seriously, Z390 chipset was cheapest ITX board I can get. Z370 cost more.

ITX is a bit of a niche area. It just happens Z390 was cheaper when I got it. Doesn't make sense, but since when has that affected hardware pricing?
