Yes, which is why I don't expect to see consumer-oriented versions of this soon. Adopting PCIe 6.0 on next-gen motherboards would really annoy people. Added cost for no real benefit. The move will happen eventually, but I don't expect it wth Zen 6 and Nova Lake, despite server CPUs supporting it.

I could see it maybe on high-end ThreadRipper but nothing less.

Agreed. Threadripper is just Pro enough to make something like that viable.
