It supports 8th gen, and that's enough. Being able to upgrade from a cheap celeron/pentium to a 6core would be a real thing for many.It also isn't really important, because no one really wants to put an older processor in Z370, especially when Z370 doesn't really offer anything over Z270.
CPU microcode gets injected depending on cpu's stepping. This particular ES has the same stepping as retail cpu.The processor is also an ES so that might have something to do with it working since it might have different microcode.

Why is that a surprise, someone from ASUS confirmed it officially that they could update Z270 to make CFL work on it, but Intel obviously banned it & so Z370 would be no different.
Anyway why would you want the older KBL for Z370 in the first place?

That's the serial number of memory modules, not the motherboard.
I guess it's a general paranoia of censoring every possible serial number - same with HDD for example.
And Asus confirmed they could make Z270 compatible with CFL, even with the higher/more stringent requirements to feed more cores.Right, and actual reviews confirmed that Z370 has a different pin layout, which makes total sense if you want to feed more cores.
https://www.bit-tech.net/features/tech/motherboards/asus-interview-andrew-wu-rog-motherboard-pm/1/bit-tech: Can you go into more technical detail about why the new CPUs are not backwards-compatible with Z270 motherboards?
Andrew: Actually, it depends on Intel’s decision.
bit-tech: So it’s not a physical limitation? Intel said it was to do with power delivery.
Andrew: Not really. It [the power delivery] makes a little bit of difference, but not much.
bit-tech: So what are they referring to – the 20 or so unused pins from before?
Andrew: Yes.
bit-tech: So if you wanted and Intel let you, you could make Z270 compatible?
Andrew: Yes, but you also require an upgrade from the ME [Management Engine] and a BIOS update. Intel somehow has locked the compatibility.

Making it work and making it work reliably and safely are two different things.
They could make it work on the high(er) end boards like ROG Maximus, Apex et al. But they're saving it for the much better z390 & the upcoming i9 octa cores.Making it work and making it work reliably and safely are two different things.
If they made Coffee Lake work on Z170/270, and sockets started melting like back in the P55 days, it would be a worse PR disaster than if they just play is safe and limit the new processors to the new socket with the extra power pins.
And I know the next argument that will be made is "well at least they could have made the quad-core and lower Coffee Lake processors work on Z170/270". But that creates confusion, they tried that with Socket 775, and it didn't work out well. That isn't a mistake they want to make again.
And that is the thing, Intel has made the mistakes in the past already, and learned from them. They aren't making these decisions to simply screw people into buying new motherboards. They are making them based mistakes they've made in the past that they don't want to repeat.

Not all boards had to be CFL compatible & not everyone had to buy a z370 even for locked CFL chips, but obviously this is all on the motherboard makers.
No I'm saying it need not work on lesser boards. There's also no good reason for forcing the buyer, someone who picks an i5 8400, to get a z370 even for a locked processor.Explain your reasoning why it would magically work on higher end boards.
