Raptor Lake chips 'not going anywhere' as Intel commits to making older CPUs 'abundantly available' and keeping DDR4 support alive

An Intel Core i9 14900K CPU held by a person, using a finger and a thumb, against a pale blue background.

Forget Arrow Lake Plus, Nova Lake and even Razer Lake AX. The future for Intel is the past in the form of Raptor Lake CPUs. Well, kinda. The company has just said that the Raptor Lake generation of chips is "not going anywhere" and will "continue to be abundantly available."

Speaking to Club386, Intel VP Robert Hallock (who our Nick chatted to recently about Intel's new Arrow Lake Plus chips) explained that Raptor Lake is, "still really, really good, even with multiple generations of hardware from other vendors coming after it, so it’s not going anywhere. I want people to understand that Raptor Lake will continue to be abundantly available."
