AMD's Zen architecture is expected to last four years

No problem

You guys do realize they are still releasing new CPUs right? They will have PCI 4.0 lanes on chip.



It's not really meant for GPUs tbh. It's more for Ethernet/fiber and storage. 16GT/s concurrently both ways(32GT/s total) is more along the speeds needed for Ethernet 40GB/s(not for home use, HPC/etc)and future NVMe devices planned for 30GBs speeds. This is the only standard interface in the world capable and economically(also backwards compatible) viable as a solution.

Oh yeah thats a good point, i didnt think of that, thanks.

Wait... When PCIE 4.0 was showed I thought it was showed with a Zen CPU?



Yeah it was. The board was "AMD Naples". So I would say they have it done, just need to wait for the boards

PCI 4.0 hasn't launched yet. Does so late this year I'm 95% positive they said that.
