In a report by Chinese outlet, Weixin, it is stated that Intel's partners are all set to unveil their 500-series motherboards which would include Z590, B560, & H510 families on the 11th of January. The 500-series chipset motherboards will be designed to fully support Intel's 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPU family.
Intel's Partners To Unveil 500-Series Motherboards Including Z590 Lineup on 11th January While Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs Launch Later, Alleges Rumor
According to the report (via @HXL), it is specifically stated that Intel's partners will be releasing their 500-series motherboards featuring the Z590, B560, and H510 chipsets. We aren't sure if Intel's OEM and board partners will be officially launching their next-generation products to market or would it just be a standard announcement followed by a proper retail launch at a later date.
The source is confident that 11th January will be a hard launch for the 500-series motherboards but also goes on to state that the accompanying Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs won't be hitting shelves till the end of February or even early March. There have been conflicting rumors regarding the Rocket Lake Desktop CPU launch with some suggesting that the launch is pinned for January while others are pointing out a retail launch around March, similar to this rumor. What could be possible is that Intel would take the opportunity to unveil its Rocket Lake-S lineup in January alongside the new line of motherboards but the actual on-shelve date would be a few weeks later.
This would be very similar to how Intel handled its Comet Lake-S Desktop CPU launch which was announced a whole month prior to their official launch. This would at least allow Intel to build up some stock because while these processors are based on a refined 14nm node, they are utilizing a brand new chip architecture and hence, binning the high-end chips won't be as simple of a job as Intel has had with the Skylake derivatives over the years.
Early adopters of those who plan to move to a 500-series platform would have to rely on a Comet Lake-S Desktop CPU if this is the case. The 10th Gen lineup would also be compatible with the 500 series motherboards since they share the same socket with the 400 series platform. There will be a host of new I/O technologies added to the 500 series platform, more specifically full support for the PCIe Gen 4 protocol, something that was amiss on various 400-series motherboards even though the platform offers compatibility with Rocket Lake-S Desktop CPUs (at least on the table). This is just a rumor for now but we will keep you posted once we hear more about Intel's Rocket Lake-S Desktop CPU launch plans.
