It is not a surprise that 13th Gen Core CPUs known as ‘Raptor Lake’ will support DDR4 memory technology. After all, these series are based on the same architecture as Alder Lake, and they’re using the same desktop LGA1700 socket. However, until now there was no direct confirmation that the Z790 series will include DDR4 memory variants.
The list of ASRock’s Z790 and H770 motherboards includes DDR4 variants of some boards. This is not the full list, but rather models that are now confirmed to be in active development.

Intel Z790, B760 Motherboard Hit EEC

About three months ago, Intel launched its 12th Gen Core series Alder Lake-S desktop CPUs at the Innovation 2021 event. Alder Lake-S needs to be paired with socket LGA1700-based 600-series chipset motherboards. And while the same socket, also sometimes called LGA1800, is expected to be re-used for the succeeding 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs too, the chipset will be all-new 700-series ones.
Motherboard vendor Biostar looks like it has already started working on the next-gen boards and has applied for Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) certification. Twitter leakster @harukaze5719 has spotted a number of these motherboard models, Z790 and Z760, on the EEC portal.
