As long as the VRMs are good, you won't need a new motherboard. Unless your vendor doesn't add support. PCIe 4 isn't needed for anything on desktop right now.

except 3D XPoint devices and 970 PRO but who the fuck uses those

No?

970 EVO and PRO should see some improvement in sequential although not much

3D XPoint (those hilariously overpriced Optane SSDs) should def see better sequential

[Doobeedoo]

Cool. Can't wait to see designs of others.

I hope to see USB C on more entry level boards this year. 

Totally agree, tbh USB type B should be the minority and type C should be the majority at this point, it's only because other hardware manufacturers are slow to adopt that it hasn't happened.

 

There's no reason why entry level mice, keyboards, controllers, printers phones, dongles and any other device aren't all using type C other than lazyness tbh. It's not like switching from USB 2 to USB 3 costs more.

 

I feel like both are waiting for the other to jump and neither wants to jump first but it has to happen sooner rather than later because type C is literally better in every single way than type B, mini and micro. It's a smaller port, can handle more plug/unplugs before the connector fails and is reversible.

Neither will. Both were made on PCIe 3.0 x4 and run exactly that. That uplink also isn't the inherent bottleneck for these products, as they could move to a x8 interface if the SSDs were held back by 3.0 x4.

Makes sense then.

If a 4.0 version comes out, that should perform better.

pretty sure optane is dual lane only so its actually limited by the link, though done on purpose for some odd reason,

btw can nvme have an 8x link?

IIRC NVMe didn't specify the max amount of lanes.

 

However M.2 does and that is limited to 4 Lanes.

So with x8 PCIe SSD you need a PCIe Card.

So in a couple of years if i feel like it.. i can turn in mah ryzen 2600 and go for something in the 3000 range 3800x or something without any trouble?

 

If you have an B450/x470 MOBO yes. 

 

Technically sgould work with the generation chipset before that - but only if vendors add compatibility And if the board can actually handle it

That's the 800P and Optane Memory, the 900P is 4x (and still saturates PCIe x4 kek)

BIOSes are already out for X370 & X470 boards. My X370 is flashed and ready for Zen 2.

how didn't people noticed yet, We getting a Ryzen Ws board guys

ASUS WS motherboards are rock solid. I've used several of them (X58, Z77, Z270) and they work great with almost all expansion cards. They're also pretty decent for overclocking and come with lots of great features.

Oke.. yea i have a X470 board.. i guess it will only be interesting if it is going to rival intels 9900k at 80w or something else that would be a more interesting choice ( or whatever they cooked up by then! )

Any guide on how to do that for UEFI  boards. last time i did that was before UEFI was a thing, (i'm using an x470 taichi ultimate if it matters).

I hope Gigabyte release a x570 designare board. The threadripper and intel designare boards looked really nice. Planning to go with the silver/white theme. Just bought the Radeon VII a few weeks back and I'm waiting for the zen2 16 core to come out so I can finish this thing, hopefully with a gigabyte designare board. I am desperate to see what Gigabyte come up with.

[Mihle]

Depending on the price ofc, I might get a 12 core Zen 2, and make an mATX system around it.

[AkatsukiKun]

Really interested in that ASUS Pro WS board if it supports the Ryzen PRO cpus as well as ECC, not my use case of course but it would be interesting nonetheless if they made a WS class board similar to what they have on Intel's side of all work and no play and pure workhorse while not looking too bad.

Does anybody know when PCs will begin using DDR5? That's what I'm holding off for so I can do a nice APU SFF / sleeper build.

For Ryzen your going to have to wait on a socket change which won't be till Zen 4 according to AMD.

Whenever they feel like it. But if AMD is willing to wait that long i wouldn't expect intel to shift soon ethier. the move to DDR5 will be made when the CPU's need the extra bandwidth, and it doesn't sound like AMD thinks that will be an issue for another couple of years. So 2021 for both most likely.

That'll be an interesting time.

 

Personally, I wanna know why we're moving boards to PCIe Gen4 while a GPU will usually fail to saturate Gen3 x16
