Gigabyte: new LGA1700 CPUs to launch in early 2027

Gigabyte is preparing its B760 and H610 motherboards for new LGA1700 processors expected in early 2027. The chips, based on Raptor Lake and Arrow Lake, keep DDR4 support, which is far cheaper than DDR5: a 32 GB DDR4-3600 kit costs around $210 versus $480 for DDR5-6000.

• New LGA1700 CPUs are expected in early 2027
• B760 and H610 boards will support them via BIOS update
• 32 GB DDR4-3600 costs ~$210, DDR5-6000 ~$480
• Intel said Raptor Lake will stay in its lineup due to DDR4 demand
