The PC industry is moving to DDR5 memory, leaving many existing systems with DDR4 memory behind. And that seems to be the case for Raptor Lake, unless new generation motherboards and processors support both legacy and next-gen memory, VideoCardz says. The first appearance of this information strengthens the rumor.
The media is based on product specifications from future ASRock motherboards with the new Z790 and H770 sockets. The list of motherboards under active development indicates that variants with DDR4 support should also be released. The new Raptor Lake slots “officially” only support DDR5 for now.
If the information is correct, this gives Intel a significant advantage, as AMD has officially only promised ddr5 for Zen 4. However, AMD may not have drawn the full picture yet. usually knowledgeable dataminer suggested Greymon55 In the near future, AMD plans to launch new processors for the AM4 socket with DDR4 support.
In this case, Intel and AMD have the same idea to support the hard-to-find and more expensive DDR5 memory of Raptor Lake and Zen 4. But at the same time, users can still use legacy memory. with a compatible motherboard.
