Idea here is that something like this (a PCIe backplane board, NOT a full-blown motherboard with support chips) plus the right PCIe card, i.e.: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14953/the-pc-on-a-gpu-intels-new-element-brings-project-christine-to-life https://www.anandtech.com/show/14953/the-pc-on-a-gpu-intels-... Should (if configured correctly) give you a working PC that is much more modular (components can be plugged into and out of the backplane) than a standard PC, (where such things as CPU, Memory, Ports, and support chips -- are more connected/integrated with the motherboard and its support circuitry)... Anyway, that's the vision for the future... actual implementation at this point in time may still be less than perfect...
