Gigabyte deletes blog post on Intel LGA1700 chips in early 2027, but it can't put the cat back in the bag

Last week, Gigabyte suggested Intel was working on a new wave of LGA1700 processors—likely a Raptor Lake refresh for expanded DDR4 support during these memory-constrained times. It has even been busy releasing BIOS files for B760 and H610 motherboards to ensure full compatibility once those chips arrive, which it expected was around "early 2027".

This week, Gigabyte has scrubbed all mention of those forthcoming chips, removed the blog post, and replaced it with another that's much less explicit.

"Built on socket LGA1700 and expected to launch in early 2027, the new processors bring fresh performance to an established platform, and Gigabyte users can be ready from day one."

Gigabyte posted a new blog post on October 13 on the same topic. It notes that Gigabyte has expanded LGA1700 processor support across Z790, B760, and H610 motherboards—adding Z790 chipsets to the list.

"[Gigabyte] today announced a new BIOS update that delivers more comprehensive LGA1700 processor support across its entire lineup of Intel Z790, B760 and H610 motherboards. The update extends compatibility to a wider range of processors on the established Socket LGA1700 platform, giving Gigabyte users more choice and more possibility to grow."

There's some press release ju-jitsu going on here. Gigabyte appears to have said something it shouldn't about new Intel chips, and in correcting its mistake, it now has to justify a bunch of new BIOS files that exist in large part for supporting said new chips.

The BIOS files themselves give the game away. Take the Z790 Aero G, for example.
