GIGABYTE Technology, one of the top global manufacturers of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, has released the Beta BIOS update for Intel 700/600 series motherboards to strengthen support for the new generation Intel Core processors. GIGABYTE has been working closely with Intel to provide users with optimal performance, compatibility, and user experiences.

"New Gen" also looking how VRM have been refreshed it seems like another set of power hungry chips on the way.

Hyderz · Jun 7, 2023

so its confirmed the 14th gen will be a refresh with higher clock speeds and hopefully the power usage stays the same.. if not lower/better
i guess 15th gen will be the new stuff (new node manufacturing etc)

As long as the iGPUs still keep support for ASTC, I'm happy.

So getting ready for Raptor lake refresh. They must have been able to squeeze enough performance out from a node drink to give it 14th gen identifier.

The DLVR feature is the one that interests me, 20% less power/heat if true is pretty good.

Updated the backdoor with an easier lock to pick as well?

probably yes.

Ha ha new gen! Let's be clear it means Raptor lake refresh not Meteor Lake which is actually new gen. Hardly any new gen to be seen. Higher clocks and apparently even higher power than cRaptor Lake already has, so I doubt DLVR is coming.
