The Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE keeps LGA 1700 through Intel's 14th Gen

The Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE uses an LGA 1700 socket and supports Intel 12th Gen (Alder Lake), 13th Gen (Raptor Lake), and 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) Core processors. It’s a testament to LGA 1700’s staying power — Z790 launched with the 13th Gen but kept backward and forward compatibility across three generations of Intel silicon.
