Gigabyte confirms that its Z490 motherboards will support the 11th. Generation "Rocket Lake-S"

Although several manufacturers confirmed that Z490 will be compatible with "The Next Generation" of Intel processors, employees of Gigabyte confirmed in a direct from the company that their motherboards will be compatible with Rocket Lake-S, the 11th. Generation of Intel Core processors.

At the time of disclosure of this information, the host said it did not know if that information could be made public, but still confirmed the support, and now clearly went public. Anyway, it was somewhat predictable, since the motherboards of several companies, including Gigabyte, offer support for PCI-E 4.0 for a future generation of processors, and clearly this future generation is about the 11th.

According to Intel's own documents, Rocket Lake-S will begin manufacturing in the second half of this year, and according to rumors we could see them in December or early next year. They will be the first to use the new Willow-Cove cores, and the integrated Xe-based Gen12, so we should see an interesting performance jump from the tenth generation, both on the CPU side and on the integrated GPU.
