I'm going to answer my on question.
From TFA:
"With Threadripper, you can run two graphics cards at X16 PCIe speeds, two at X8, and still have enough lanes left over for three X4 NVMe SSDs connected directly to the CPU."

- noir_lord 9y agoGood god. So you can stick four high end cards in with 3 X4's... That would be an absolute monster for GPU workloads.
- paulmd 9y agoThreadripper is an enthusiast/workstation SKU. If you really want to go nuclear, Epyc gets you 128 lanes. Boom. (Also note that Threadripper is only 60 lanes, the other 4 go to the PCH, so the most you could do is x16x16x16x12. I'm unsure if Epyc gives you a real 128 or whether it's actually 120 or something.)
- noir_lord 9y agoNext up, 512 lanes should be enough for anybody ;).
