Gigabyte AORUS Z490 Motherboard Lineup Leaked, Ready for PCIe Gen 4

Following ASRock, ASUS, MSI Gigabyte now as well has the issue their motherboard lineup leaked out. In specific I am talking about the Z490 motherboard lineup of course, based on Socket LGA1200 for Comet-lake, and later oN Rocket-Lake.

Much like the other brands, the boards seem to be PCIe Gen 4.0 'ready', as Comet lake will not be Gen 4, we expect the Rocket lake generation to take advantage of PCIe Gen 4. So it's all electrically prepared.

Gigabyte PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design

2x PCIE 4.0 Slot (Reinforced PCIe 4.0 x16 or x8/x8 with lower impedance)
M.2 PCIe 4.0 Slot (M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot with lower impedance)
PCIE 4.0 Turbo B-Clock (External clock generator for PCIe 4.0 overclocking)
PCIE 4.0 Switches (Switch PCIe 4.0 x16 into PCIe x8/x8)
PCIe 4.0 Re-driver (Boost & strengthen PCIe 4.0 signals to longer lengths)
3.3x Slot Signal Stability
4x Lower Low Signal Loss PCB

The content got posted and leaked over at Videocardz. Gigabyte will have quite a lineup, and the Master version does look very nice:
