Intel's desktop platforms will continue to use a chipset that's totally separate from the CPU package, unlike its laptop chips, which combine a CPU/GPU/chipset. The new 800-series chipsets can support "up to" 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes, which can be used for M.2 SSDs and various ports depending on how your motherboard maker decides to use them.

One interesting fact about Intel's Core Ultra 200 Series and its new architecture, the hotspot is changing, and so too are the cooling requirements.
