Intel To Continue Focus On Raptor Lake CPUs And Hybrid DDR5/DDR4 Motherboards As PC Build Costs Rise

Intel says Raptor Lake will remain a core part of its PC strategy and will continue to be available.

Many users still rely on 12th–14th Gen CPUs because they are in good supply and pair with cheaper DDR4 motherboards.

Manufacturers are offering hybrid DDR4/DDR5 motherboards like the ASRock H610 COMBO II to let builders choose memory amid rising component costs.

Intel plans to introduce the LGA 1954 socket later in the year to improve socket longevity.
