Intel Raptor Lake to keep DDR4 support

According to YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, DDR4 isn't disappearing after Alder Lake just yet. Rumor has it that Intel's future Raptor Lake-S platform will continue to support both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, allowing buyers to pick a more economic option. However, just like with current motherboards, this does not mean we'll see motherboards that support both memory standards.

Intel 13th Gen Core “Raptor Lake-S” is confirmed to offer as many as 24 cores (8P+16E) in similar TDP ranges of 125W, 65W, and 35W for desktop environments. The series is also to be used for mobile devices, but the specifications of the Alder Lake-P/M successor remain unconfirmed.

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 ????.
