In this article, we are going to discuss why the AMD EPYC “Rome” generation will likely see 160x PCIe Gen4 lanes plus likely additional lane(s) for a necessary function. While all of our previous material focused on 128x PCIe lanes, in single and dual socket configurations for AMD EPYC, we are expecting a big change in 2019 with the new generations and one that Intel fully failed to address with its release this week. Intel instead focused on bringing out a large portfolio instead of addressing the fact that it is about to have a competitor with twice as many cores per socket and well over 3x the PCIe bandwidth in mainstream dual-socket systems.
Epyc, like the inferior Xeon and the superior Power9, are not for toys.

Mcm design comes with higher latencies. Not ideal for gayming, but totally worth it for most professional workloads. Gaymes would need to take the far more complex zen design into account, but that's a lot of work and not that easy, so yeah.

Inclusive L4 cache, no more NUMA issues

Except Ryzen and Epyc use same chips so both will suck just as much.
Charles Diaz
well the central I/O chip surely is acting like a huge buffer afterall its going to be x2 faster than first gen IF
Justin Green
maybe faster. The core chiplet to i/o IF link is rumored to be 100GB/s now.

Go back to /v/, kid. Adults are talking.

You're not shilling hard enough, Murthy Renduchintala
its not that hard if you take a quick look at the (((competition))). soldered to the board 2x28c (literally glued together also) for the price of your kidney. meanwhile ROME is just drop in older boards without any hassle

only on those that will support pcie gen 4

AMD is Google salve
Litearlly murdering the PC industry one cloud server at a time.

google had either to choose amd sriov solution or going with nvidia GRID and being propiertary shit
Pcie gen 4.0 is what convinced me to buy AMD when it'll come out. Yet, I hope they'll fix emulation Secondly, is there any chance for the usb 4?

I have two AMD systems, I've used Bluestacks on a 1700 and never had a single issue. PCSX2 and Dolphin both work just fine as well. There is nothing to "fix"

> 160x PCIe Gen4 It'd be great if this translates to actually getting the PCIe lanes it looks like you get when you buy a standard consumer / AM4 motherboard. Here's today's total scandal unacceptable situation: My X470 board has 3 x16 slots and 3 x1 slots. So how many x16 slots do you have? ONE. Just the one. Fill the second and the first and second run at x8. The third can only do x4 and that's IF just one x1 slot is populated. Populate two x1 slots and the third x16 slot goes down to x1. THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM, it appears that you get three x16 slots but you really don't, you get one, that's your x16 slot, that's it.
Graphics doesn't render on the CPU anymore, it's been decades since it did. In most cases it doesn't matter. If you're spending way more than you need to play games on a GPU and you get a high-end card like the 1080ti or 2080ti then there might be a small difference. In most cases it simply doesn't matter.
