Intel Rocket Lake-S: Up to 8 cores, PCIe 4.0 support and Z490 motherboard compatibility for upcoming 14 nm processors

[Redaktion]

A new report has shed more light on Intel's next desktop processors, the Rocket Lake-S series. Apparently, the processors will be compatible with Z490 motherboards and will support PCIe 4.0. However, Rocket Lake-S will be built on a new 14 nm process and will only offer up to 8-core SKUs.

I am sure Alder Lake-S will get delayed to Q1 2022.

What about b460 motherboard series? Will they support 11th Gen? I heard it will on some other forums

so, it seems this is another Broadwell/Skylake situation.

I'll wait for more Alder Lake information before making a decision.
