Nice record for intel.
A unique gen only motherboards.
Return of this boards will be sky high. Or rocket high.

Oh shit Intel why you do this! i begin to wonder why do i still sticking with Intel this time around 😡 fortunately i was aware that my Asrock z490m itx/ac doesn't have any bios announcement and when i saw Z490-g board second hand with good price i took it. but still.. WTH Intel (or Asrock ftm)??

why am I not surprised to see a whole list of asrock mobos there
what a sad downfall of once great mobo maker. their mid range boards used to be quality.
their z490 is definition of fail.

Thats what you get for not buying an high end z490 motherboard. :P

It's ok, you can buy a brand new z590 for 200 or 300 dollars that will be abandoned in 3 or 4 months. Great investment.
They need to skip rocket lake completely. But alder lake is still a year ahead.

It´s amazing the mess created by Intel regarding their own sockets! That´s why my next rig is probably going to be from AMD.

My bios is rdy since 15th dec 😀
If only gpu prices were rdy too lol

same boat here
10500 bought as a placeholder
dunno about rkl-s tho,if they're asking over 300 eur for a six core then no way in hell,10700KF is 300.
planned a sn850 drive alongside for os.check it out.r/w performance is outstanding.over 90mb/s 4k read

People argue that Intel always switched socket to make sure no confusing buying motherboards. Well, what the frack is this now?
AM4 is a godly platform in my book, even if some motherboards lost some support along the way, it's an amazing socket.

This has nothing to do with intel i think, its like most entry z490 wont support the new cpu,s.

this is just Intel being Intel, but ... what a mess Asrock did with Z490 boards o_O

my z490 aorus elite got rkl-s bios in january.and it's a mid-range z490.I have a third,dedicated pcie4 m.2 slot for rkl on that same board too.
this has nothing to do with the chipset,asrock's z490 is a mess.same for asus.people fell for brand name instead of doing some research.

The low end z490 from ashrock have pathetic vrm if those are the only boards not supported i can see why. But on the other hand this is intel 😛 they love changing chipsets and sockets we will know when the list extends or does not extend more .

My Z490 Gigabyte Vision G board already has the bios out for rocket lake. The m2 slot on the board is for pcie4 and it's labeled for it.
I am going to get a 11900k and skip Alder Lake and the next gen after that totally. I should be good for awhile with pcie4 and an 11900k. Glad Gigabyte made their boards compatible with the new cpus and pcie gen.
