"LGA 1700 is still a good socket" - Maybe don't throw out your DDR4 motherboard just yet, as Intel says Raptor Lake will be supported "for years to come"
Intel's VP Robert Hallock has indicated a desire to support the LGA 1700 socket and Raptor Lake CPUs for "years to come," potentially mirroring AMD's long-standing platform support. This commitment is partly driven by the availability of Raptor Lake on both DDR4 and DDR5 motherboards, offering consumers more flexibility amidst current memory pricing issues. This extended support could be a positive sign for future Intel platforms like Arrow Lake.
