In October this year, Intel launched the 12th-generation Core K series processors, and the Z690 high-end motherboards will also be on the market, supporting DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0.
In 2022, the mid-range B660 motherboard and the entry-level H610 motherboard will be on the market. The news revealed that the cheap H610 motherboard will also support DDR5 memory.

According to @rra_rot, the H610 motherboard from ASRock has been certified in South Korea and will support DDR5 memory from the perspective of its naming.
Moreover, the upcoming B660 motherboard will have DDR4 and DDR5 memory versions, and it is expected that all systems will not support PCIe 5.0. The H610 motherboard configuration will be further reduced. It is a bit surprising to support DDR5 memory, because the price of the H610 motherboard may not be able to buy a DDR5 memory.
At present, the frequency of DDR5 memory on the market is mostly 4800MHz, and the frequency of high-end models can reach above 6000MHz. On e-commerce platforms, DDR5 memory is mostly out of stock or reserved. It is expected that the supply of DDR5 memory will improve when the new B660/H610 motherboard is released in 2022.
