I very much agree! Having a middle-ground cpu was awesome: quad channel ram, 64x pcie, attainably priced. Awesome & will be sorely missed. It'll be interesting

I very much agree! Having a middle-ground cpu was awesome: quad channel ram, 64x pcie, attainably priced. Awesome & will be sorely missed. It'll be interesting to see if higher rev pcie (5.0, 6.0) ever start getting used in new ways. Im not sure that it makes sense to have even a flagship gaming GPU using 16x slots at 5.0. Seeing motherboards with a mix of slot sizes would be neat.
