Hm, what do you mean? Unless it's an Intel thing:
For AM4: The ASUS card (at least the one I'm looking at) is PCIe4 4x4, while APUs only expose PCIe3. Should still work but over PCIe3 with X570. I've been running PCIe3 4x4 cards from other makers on that chipset and did not notice any issues.
For AM5 I don't see why not?
I have not tried but something like this might be what you are looking for? https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005311953959.html https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005311953959.html
There are bifurcation cards from other makers with other configurations also exposing two m2 slots, if you look around. E.g. https://www.10gtek.com/nvmessdadapterforu.2ssd https://www.10gtek.com/nvmessdadapterforu.2ssd
- 3np 2y agoFollow-up: Just learned that so far AM5 is actually a regression compared to AM4[0]. The best they can give is exactly 16 usable lanes (4 of total 20 reserved for chipset). Zen4c models only give you 10. Between this and Pluton I'm quickly losing interest in AM5... [0]: OK, total bandwidth is still obviously up because we have gained a PCIe generation but still I'd have expected available lane-count to not drop.
- wtallis 2y agoAM5 is not a regression from AM4; it adds four more PCIe lanes. The laptop chips repackaged for the desktop socket don't have as many lanes, because laptop chips don't need that much IO.
- 3np 2y agoI'm talking about the AM5 desktop APU options (including announced PRO APUs), not the platform itself or laptop SKUs.
