All motherboards in the 500 series are compatible with Rocket Lake and Comet Lake processors. Motherboards with the W480, Z490, H470, and Q470 chipsets also support Rocket Lake processors, although a BIOS update may be required. Motherboards with other chipsets do not support Rocket Lake processors. With the Intel Z590 chipset and Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 processors from the 10th/11th generation, as well as Intel Pentium processors, you are immediately at the forefront of the battlefield, powered by stunning strength and performance. From content creation to gaming, the Intel Z590 chipset delivers the power and performance you need. PCIe M.2 32 Gb/s offers the highest throughput and lower latency. It is three times faster than PCIe M.2 10 Gb/s. PCIe 4.0 is the universal PCI Express I/O standard. With 16 GT/s, it doubles the connection bandwidth compared to PCIe 3.0 while maintaining compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces. USB 3.2 Gen1 provides a significant performance boost and can be used to connect multiple devices without compatibility issues. It enables data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s and is backward compatible with all existing USB products.
