The argument there is that you should probably have looked at a workstation CPU and board, e.g. ThreadRipper.

- Kerrick 4y agoThreadripper has worse single-core performance than Ryzen, lacks 3D V-Cache, only came in a Pro option last generation (which was vendor-locked to Lenovo for months), and has been removed from next generation's roadmap. As I mentioned in the "Slots vs. Lanes" section in the article, most home users don't actually need more lanes -- just more slots.
- magicalhippo 4y ago> most home users don't actually need more lanes -- just more slots Indeed. I really don't understand why they can't have x16 slots instead of those useless x1 slots. My current motherboard has two PCIe x1 slots, running either 3.0 or 4.0. Plenty of bandwidth for lots of stuff. But they're useless because every expansion board has a x4 or larger connector. Previous motherboards have been full of useless x1 connectors as well. I know there are exceptions, but x1 is certainly the norm.
