For sometime this year the launch of the Intel Raptor Lake is expected. This post Alder Lake build will have better L2 and L3 cache due to better redistribution of core clusters. It will continue to use the LGA 1700 socket, thus motherboards that were already compatible with Alder Lake will be compatible with Raptor Lake.
But before they are fully supported, it is necessary to update the BIOS so that it recognizes Raptor Lake and takes full advantage of its features. Motherboard manufacturers are going to be updating their LGA 1700 socket Intel motherboard series to add such Raptor Lake support, and ASRock has been the latest to release such BIOS update.
