Gigabyte is preparing BIOS support for Intel's next Raptor Lake Refresh-era CPUs with compatibility for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, with 2026 listings pointing to upcoming motherboard firmware updates. Keeping DDR4 support would let users on older memory upgrade processors without replacing their RAM kits, a cost-saving option as Intel's newer platforms push DDR5-only designs.
