The Pentium line processors will feature 2 cores, 4 threads, & 4 MB of L3 cache while the Celeron lineup will get just 2 cores and no multi-threading support. These chips will also carry 4 MB of L3 cache though. The Core i3 and Pentium models will feature UHD 630 graphics with 24 EUs while the Celeron SKUs will get UHD 610 graphics with 12 EUs.
The source also reports that only high-end Z490 motherboards will be fully able to support Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs due to the new power requirements which are needed for compatibility.
Here's Everything We Know About The 11th Generation Desktop CPUs
Intel's Rocket Lake-S desktop CPU platform will feature support on LGA 1200 socket which made its debut with the 10th Gen Comet Lake-S CPUs although on 400-series motherboards. The Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will be launching primarily for the 500-series motherboards but it has been confirmed that LGA 1200 motherboards will offer support for Rocket Lake-S CPUs, especially given the fact that PCIe Gen 4.0 is a prominent feature of Z490 motherboards which would only be enabled with the use of Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs. Motherboard makers, especially ASUS will be paying extra attention in incorporating hardware-level integration of PCIe Gen 4 on their Z590 line of motherboards versus their Z490 lineup as we pointed out here.

Main features of Intel's Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs include:
Increased Performance with new Cypress Cove core architectureUp to 8 cores and 16 threads (Double Digit IPC Gains Over Skylake)New Xe graphics architecture (Up To 50% higher Performance Than Gen9)Increased DDR4 3200 MHz Memory SupportCPU PCIe 4.0 Lanes (Available on Z490 & Z590 Motherboards)Enhanced Display (Integrated HDMI 2.0b, DP1.4a, HBR3)Added x4 CPU PCIe Lanes = 20 Total CPU PCIe 4.0 LanesEnhanced Media (12 bit AV1/HVEC, E2E compression)CPU Attached Storage or Intel Optane MemoryNew Overclocking Features and CapabilitiesUSB Audio offloadIntegrated CNVi & Wireless-AXIntegrated USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20G)2.5Gb Ethernet Discrete LANDiscrete Intel Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 Compliant)
The architecture for Rocket Lake CPUs is said to be Cypress Cove which is reportedly a hybrid between the Sunny Cove and Willow Cove design but will feature Xe Gen 12 GPU architecture. Intel's Core i9-11900K will be the flagship CPU offering in the lineup and expect more info on it soon.
