Interesting to note that, just from memory, this means most of the increased I/O possibilities actually come from the CPU itself, not the chipset. 2x7 W also means that chipset power remains pretty much the same compared to X570, though two chips will lend themselves better to effective passive cooling.
- ridgered4 4y agoYeah, there's a lot to be said about the daisy chain but the real news for me here was that 4 CPU lanes are added from last generation. I personally would rather they be used for a m.2 slot than a thunderbolt controller and hopefully they will in some boards. (I don't see the point of thunderbolt on a desktop) While the daisy chain is interesting, it doesn't sound like it gets you much at the end of the day and will double power usage (which was a real sore spot with x570 vs the asmedia chipsets) The dual chipset sort of seems like it's just a luxury item without a purpose in most cases. Maybe we'll see some interesting designs with server oriented boards but doubling the power usage doesn't seem worth what it will get you to me.
