Intel's 11th Generation Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs will be the first to support the PCIe Gen 4.0 protocol & this support has been showcased in a leaked entry that was spotted by TUM_APISAK over at the SiSoftware database. The Rocket Lake CPUs will also be the last generation of CPUs to utilize the 14nm process node.

The Intel Rocket Lake CPUs are expected to launch by the end of this year but we've heard a launch around CES 2021 too. Branded under the 11th Generation family, the Intel Rocket Lake CPUs will be offering a brand new core architecture which will be based on a 14nm process node. We've seen a range of engineering samples with up to 8 cores and 16 threads running at speeds of 5.0 GHz. The Rocket Lake CPUs will also be supported by the LGA 1200 socket which is currently featured on the Z490 motherboards.
