https://www.techpowerup.com/306136/msi-starts-scaling-down-ddr4-lga1700-motherboard-production-in-favor-of-ddr5-ones Motherboard major MSI has reportedly began scaling down production of its Socket LGA1700 motherboards with DDR4 memory slots, in favor of those with the newer DDR5 slots. The move is aimed at gradually weaning the market off DDR4. The company has issued product discontinuance notices for several of its Intel 600-series and 700-series chipset motherboards that have DDR4 slots. Among the rather recently-announced products on the chopping block are the MPG Z790 Edge WiFi DDR4, Pro Z790-A WiFi DDR4, Pro Z790-P DDR4, and the DDR4 version of the MAG B760M Mortar. Meanwhile, DDR5 memory prices are on the chill, with the cheapest 16 GB (2x 8 GB) kit being priced at $60, and the cheapest 32 GB (2x 16 GB) one at $97.
I would also assume this will save the company some money and investment by having only one type of DDR memory support.
