As additional proof for this matter, we will check out the record of 700-series ASRock motherboards acquired by Videocardz. The record of pre-prelease merchandise covers what appears to be like like it is going to most likely be ASRock’s complete sequence of Z790 motherboards (a minimum of at launch) in addition to few H770 motherboards. Combined in with the record of fashions are plenty of platters suffixed with /D4, clearly indicating that they are going to take DDR4 reminiscence.
Clearly this is only one vendor, and ASRock has by no means been one to shrink back from doing issues that Intel is not too keen on. Up to now, ASRock has shipped wacky motherboards just like the P45TurboTwins2000 that supported each DDR2 and DDR3 reminiscence for Core 2 processors. It is solely doable that ASRock would be the solely vendor delivery DDR4-compatible motherboards for Raptor Lake, however we would not wager on it.
The names of the chipsets aren’t a shock for those who’ve been listening to Intel’s chipset naming for the final twelve generations, however even past that, we have already had a sort-of affirmation of Intel’s Raptor Lake chipset names from Biostar’s submitting with the Eurasian Financial Union. Positive, Biostar recanted that itemizing—probably as a result of it needed to—however there is not any actual purpose to doubt it.
Nevertheless, the previous few generations of Intel CPUs have launched with its high-end chipsets first, whereas the mid-range and lower-end chipsets have come later. Provided that we have now heard about B760 and H770 together with Z790, it appears doable that Intel may launch its entire vary of 700-series chipsets . That is simply conjecture, after all, so preserve your eyes right here for an official announcement.
