Intel says Raptor Lake CPUs aren't going anywhere and hints at more DDR4/DDR5 hybrid motherboards

Intel launched the Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake CPUs in 2024, but they didn't see the success the Blue Team had hoped for. Then came the newer Core Ultra 200S Plus "Arrow Lake Refresh" lineup, which looked more competitive at launch but has recently seen price hikes. As a result, many users are turning back to Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs, with the 13th and 14th-Gen chips still offering strong multithreading and gaming performance even by today's standards. However, finding a CPU like the Core i5-14600K at a reasonable price is not easy right now, and that is exactly what Intel is looking to fix.
