will the new upcoming LGA2066 supporting chipsets be PCI-E2066

[azizi matan]

I was considering building a new x99 pc when i saw that it uses the 2nd generetion of PCI-E lanes,

then i saw an article about intel and there new upcoming LGA2066 socket, so i was wondering if the new chipset that will use the new LGA2066 socket will support the 3rd generetion of PCI-E.

I aint found someone that knew about it so I came to the linustechtips forums to see if some knows about it.

If you know something about it please respone to this, it will be very appreciated.

they bothe should support pci e 3

it's more than likely Intel would use gen3 PCIe in their next chipset

x99 should support PCIe 3.0 as well - at least thats what it says in the description of the asus x99 deluxe II for example .. four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, one 2.0 x16 and a 2.0 x1
