AMD next-gen AM5 X670 & B650 motherboards to only support DDR5 memory

It's a rumour but not unexpected

Yeah, building a Zen4 system will be very expensive, and this could be a clear advantage for Rocket Lake if it still supports DDR4 (I've seen some rumors saying that Intel asked its board partners to not enable DDR4 support for those chips even in current s1700 boards).

Also, and from the same source as that bit of info, Tom's Hardware, there's that rumor that the X670 chipset will actually be two chiplets! Weird.

Apparently, Intel already confirmed that Rocket lake still supports DDR4. But I expect the number of boards to support DDR4 to be more rare than with Alder Lake
