The real intrigue for me is the 1900X which is 8-core similar to 1800X, 1700X and 1700. I understand the 1900X will use the ThreadRipper MoBo, giving it access to 60 pci-express lanes. What could be the best use of this say compared to the X370 Mobo and its 16-something pci-express lanes ?

- wongarsu 9y agoAnything that uses lots of GPUs and actually needs to quickly transfer data from and to GPUs is going to profit a lot from more PCIe lanes. Renderfarms and Deep Learning come to mind.
- binarycrusader 9y agoNot just lots of PCI-E lanes, but quad channel memory too. It's a smart move by AMD.
- topspin 9y agoEnthusiasts will build systems with 3 x GPUS (16 PCIe 3.0 lanes each) + 2 x M.2 (4x PCIe each) = 56 PCIe lanes, just for peripherals. Workstations might use one or more 10GbE (4x PCIe each) and even 40Gb/s infiniband devices (8x or more PCIe.) Not hard to use these up when you're going big.
