Gigabyte updates B760 and H610 boards for expected Intel CPUs
Gigabyte has released BIOS updates for its B760 and H610 motherboards to prepare them for new Intel desktop processors expected in early 2027.

Gigabyte says owners of supported boards will be able to install a BIOS update to use the new CPUs without replacing their motherboard.
