There are a lot of 300 series motherboards listed on newegg as 8th gen only or just 8th gen with no mention of 9th gen, so if you are getting a 9th gen processor do you have to buy a motherboard that specifically says 9th gen in the description? if 8th gen mobo fits 9th gen cpu is there some limitation or drawback or are the terms completely interchangable?
for instance this motherboard
