We now have a detailed block diagram that shows off the new chipset for Intel’s LGA 1151 platform. Due to sharing the same socket, Z270 motherboards will be compatible with Skylake.

3DCenter.org has published an AMD Zen block diagram "with little speculation". The diagram was drawn up from a software patch published by an AMD Technical Staff member called Venkataramanan Kumar.

One thing not detailed in the block diagram is whether Intel will enable AVX-512 on its mainstream Alder Lake Xeon processors. This is a feature that is disabled on Intel's consumer Alder Lake ...

It's clear already that Ryzen 3000 CPUs (Matisse) and the X570 chipset will support PCIe 4.0. The new diagram once again confirms that the processor will provide a total of 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
