Intel will allow RAM overclocking on the H570 and B560 chipsets
H570 and B560 chipsets will support RAM overclocking on Intel Rocket Lake-S processors
The launch of the Intel Rocket Lake-S processors is close to being released. They will be the last to be manufactured under the 14nm node. To force adoption of these new processors, Intel is implementing additional features. Intel H570 and B560 chipset motherboards will support RAM overclocking.

Normally the overclocking capability is usually reserved for the "Intel Zx90" chipsets. But its competitor AMD, is much more open about this and allows the overclock most of your chipsets. This would have forced Intel to add this possibility in more variety of chipsets. Also, they need to add extras in order to sell the 11th Generation of processors.
Note that Intel's H570 and B560 chipsets will not support overclocking the processors. Only memory overclocking capacity will be offered through XMP profiles.
In order to use this capacity of these new chipsets, it will be needed at least in Core i5 processors. Core i3, Pentium and Celeron processors would be limited to speeds of 2666MHz. Intel may finally enable memory overclocking on Core i3s, but who knows.
It is possible that ASRock will enable CPU overclocking on its motherboards using BCLK. Currently some mid-range ASRock motherboards allow you to increase the processor base frequency. This allows an extra performance, which is always positive.
We have to take into account that Intel's Rocket Lake-S processors are compatible with the Z490 chipsets (and other chipsets for Intel Comet Lake-S processors). Many may not be betting on switching motherboards and upgrading the processor, although high adoption of these processors is not expected. We must bear in mind that at the end of the year, in principle, the Alder Lake-S @ 10nm processors will arrive.
