Intel’s 11th-gen Rocket Lake CPUs will work with Z490 motherboards

Intel’s new Z490 motherboards for its freshly announced 10th-gen Comet Lake-S desktop processors will support the next generation of CPUs, known as Rocket Lake-S.

As Tom’s Hardware spotted, on Gigabyte’s Aorus livestream, the motherboard manufacturer revealed that Z490 will support Intel’s 11th-gen Rocket Lake processors.

Of course, it’s not a huge surprise that 11th-gen chips would continue to be supported by Z490 products, given that if Intel were to switch again so quickly – over the span of just a single generation – it wouldn’t be a crowd-pleasing move. That said, 500-series motherboards may still be coming with Rocket Lake when it arrives probably early in 2021 (we’ll discuss that further in a moment).
