使用 DDR4 會便宜一些，但這樣的做法真對消費性市場有所幫助？
Intel 在 2027 年除了要推出 LGA 1951 腳位的 Nova Lake-S 桌上型電腦用處理器與 900 系列晶片主機板外，很顯然的要為入門級 PC 市場推出一些 DDR4 記憶體可用的平台，那就是在 6 月份傳出的 Raptor Lake Next 系列處理器。
現在，Raptor Lake Next 系列處理器以及獲得 GIGABYTE 的證實；Raptor Lake Next 系列處理器將會使用 Intel Core 2000 系列進行命名。
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, today announced BIOS support for the Upcoming LGA1700 processors across its entire lineup of Intel B760 and H610 motherboards. Built on Socket LGA1700 and expected to launch in early 2027, the new processors bring fresh performance to an established platform, and GIGABYTE users can be ready from day one.
The best upgrades are the ones that feel effortless. With GIGABYTE’s latest BIOS, owners of existing B760 and H610 motherboards, DDR5 and DDR4 models alike, can step up to upcoming processors in three simple moves: download the BIOS, update, and drop in the new CPU. There’s no board replacement, no system rebuild, and no complicated setup. Just a fresh wave of performance, delivered through the platform you already trust and love.
For anyone who has already invested in an LGA1700 system, this is the upgrade path you were hoping for: more power, lower cost, zero hassle. Next-generation performance is now within easy reach, and it starts with a BIOS update.
GIGABYTE 在 10 月 9 號的官網新聞稿中確認，旗下 B760 與 H610 晶片主機板將會在第一天獲得新 LGA 1700 腳位處理器的支援，而這裡所謂的「新」，則是指早前曝光的 Raptor Lake Next 系列處理器。
如果沒有意外的話，Intel 會在 2027 年第一季推出 Raptor Lake Next 系列處理器，這樣的做法主要是為了解決 DDR5 記憶體價格高昂的問題，因為 B760 與 H610 晶片主機板用的 Raptor Lake 系列處理器支援 DDR4 與 DDR5 記憶體，但系列晶片主機板大多會搭配 DDR4 記憶體使用。
