Intel to launch new CPUs on old socket in 2027, says Gigabyte

Original: 🎮 Intel to release new CPUs on old socket in early 2027 says Gigabyte - memory crisis making DDR4 desirable again Likely

Gigabyte has reportedly told PC Gamer that Intel plans to release new CPUs on an older socket in early 2027, with DDR4 support among the options. The move is being linked to the ongoing memory price crisis, which has made cheaper DDR4 memory attractive again for PC builders. Enthusiasts see it as a possible lifeline for budget systems while DDR5 and RAM costs remain inflated.

Why now: Soaring memory prices are pushing gamers and builders to look for cheaper DDR4-compatible hardware options.
