Looks like not all 'Rocket Lake' CPU's will be supporting PCIE 4.O. Leaving out some of the rest of the processors even though they are part of the 11th generation and thus stay in 3.0. A case of "Refresh" and an expression we all came to know so well. Can't wait like many here to see the lineup of the Z590 ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Motherboards and their usual mainstream 'best seller' the ROG Maximus XIII HERO. For sure prices will be increasing exponentially. For me all of the newly announced hardware stuff will be nice to feel and to touch, but for the big upgrade I will most likely hold my breath until later this year for Alder Lake. After all the 11th generation will be a rather short lived affair and with Alder Lake only 9-months away or so. Might as well then for Christmas gorging or basting myself in PCIE 5.0, DDR5 and a new LGA 17OO. At least good times are ahead in our 'Tech-World' unlike the prevailing US conditions and the news around the world.

I still doubt alder lake will be this year. Maybe next year, early at best. Otherwise, they screwed their customer base so hard, it's unbelievable.

I for one will simply just upgrade my 10500es to a 10900k es as I can get it for about $400 cad.
