Windows 10 Enterprise Supported CPU

Does anyone know if Windows 10 Enterprise ver. 1809 support Intel 8th generation CPU ( i3 )? Because Microsoft's doc. mentioned that it only "up through" 9th generation Intel Processors ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements ), is it mean only support 9th generation Intel CPU? Thanks a lot.

    KuDo-TCYes, Windows 10 1809 does fully support 8th-Generation Intel processors. "Up through" in this context means "up to and including". As the 8th Generation processors is what's currently shipping and 9th Gen ones haven't been on the market when 1809 was released and aren't even currently available for mobile applications (laptops), anything else would be pretty pointless from Microsoft....  This post is being written on a machine running 1809 on an i7-8650 CPU :)
