Intel will keep on offering older Raptor Lake CPUs to allow PC builders an alternative to higher DDR5 prices. DDR5 Prices Are Not Coming Down Anytime Soon, So Intel Has Decided To Keep Its Raptor Lake CPUs On Shelves For Years To Come As the memory supply crunch continues, PC builders are being forced out of upgrades. We've covered on many occasions just how bad things are for consumers at the moment, as prices across all components continue to rise. Given this situation, Intel's client division seems to be reviving existing lineups while working on newer ones. We have seen […]

It took a lot of time for the market to transition from DDR4 to DDR5 properly, but right when DDR5 became the norm, the RAMpocalypse hit the market like a truck. Since DDR5 memories have become 4-5X more expensive than July 2025 levels, it's understandable that vendors might be struggling with […]

Intel will reportedly focus more on the previous-gen processors to fulfill the current demand in the PC market. Intel is Reportedly Restarting Supply of Last Four Generation of Processors as Motherboard Vendors Ramp Up DDR4 Platform Production Roughly a month ago, we reported that some vendors are now restarting the production of DDR4 platforms, i.e., DDR4-compatible motherboards. This is to ensure the market gets DDR4 motherboards in sufficient quantity, as expensive DDR5 memory has made it unfeasible to build DDR5 systems on a budget. More reports are surfacing confirming the same report, and Intel appears to have prepared accordingly. As […]
