Don’t ditch your DDR4 memories the intel Raptor Lake will support them

Just launched the Alder Lake news about the next processors of the same company, and although there is still a long way to see them, do not get rid of your DDR4 memories, the intel Raptor Lake will support them.

This information comes to us through Moore’s Law Is Dead, who has revealed through his twitter account that the next processors Intel Raptor Lake will continue to support DDR4 memory in addition to the new and current DDR5.

In this way we can continue to use our DDR4 memories in both the 12th generation Intel Alder Lake and the 13th generation of Intel Raptor Lake, and this also means that we can use the current Z960 and future B660 boards, a detail that many users appreciate. by not having to change the entire platform when a new processor is launched.

It should be remembered that the intel Raptor Lake will not bring anything new except for the typical increase in the IPC and little else, as they will not cease to be a mere update of the current intel Alder Lake by doubling the E-cores.

In addition, according to the latest leaks, the Raptor Lake processors would reach up to 24 cores distributed in 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores and a TDP distributed in 35W, 65W and 125W. In addition, everything indicates that it will cry in time for when AMD returns with its new Zen4 processors and its new AM5 socket also compatible with DDR5.

So don’t get rid of your DDR4 memories, the intel Raptor Lake will support them and you can take advantage of them.

Raptor Lake will support DDR4.

Some people might say “duh”, but I have seen a conspiracy theory going around that Intel would obsolete DDR4 mobos when Raptor Lake launches. No, they won’t.

Rest easy DDR4 Alder Lake buyers 😊.
