Motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte has more or less confirmed that Intel will be releasing new processors for the LGA 1700 socket. The company has announced a new BIOS update for its lineup of Intel B760 and H610 motherboards. Essentially, this update will allow them to support the upcoming CPUs. So, users will be able to flash the latest BIOS and upgrade to the new processors without needing to replace any parts.
Worth noting here is the fact that the update covers both the DDR5 and DDR4 models. This means that existing systems will remain compatible with the new chips. Of course, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why this matters. With RAM prices being the way they are, building a PC in this day and age could get pretty expensive. Using DDR4 memory would be a way to manage costs. Although it’s not quite as fast as DDR5, the memory type is fine for most modern games.
