The specifications listed in the “pre-assembled” PC file MSI Infinite B915 clearly confirm that the H410 motherboard supports Rocket Lake S chips up to 65W TDP.

Support for the 400 series motherboards is no secret at this time, but several sources have already confirmed it, and this is a new one. This way, the upcoming Intel CPU architecture will be compatible with the existing 400 series motherboards.

At the moment, we only knew that the Z490 series motherboards would support the future Rocket Lake S processors, but we didn’t know anything, and there is no confirmed information about the support of these CPUs with other 400 series chipsets.

On the other hand, this will be an important change for Intel, as it will be the first processors with PCIe 4.0 support. AMD has been offering this option for some time now, allowing the additional bandwidth to be used for the new PCIe 4.0 units.

The 400 series motherboards only support Comet Lake-S processors (10th generation core), but with the release of Rocket Lake-S, the support list would expand. It is not clear how both series will be released, as Intel Rocket Lake-S is not expected to have more cores than Comet Lake-S. In fact, the Rocket Lake-S flagship chip is expected to have only 8 cores and 16 threads.

Ultimately, these new processors, with the new Willow Cove core architecture and integrated Xe Gen12 graphics, are expected to hit the market in 2021. We will keep you informed.
