The official spec for the connector between the motherboard and the first linked chipset is just 4x pci express 4.0 which would be a really bad bottneneck.
So we just have to hope it's unoficially better* than pci express 4 but don't get your hopes up too high.
no shintel is i mean intcelaviv i mean intcel, i mean telavintcel, i mean housefire i mean intel

B650 will be even worse (just 20 pci express lanes).
Eli Williams
What ever did happen to the list? Feels like after zen3 it just stopped being updated.
Samuel Diaz
I did look at the AMD website and didn't find anything about it there. I read that the chipset was supposed to support pci express 5 but failed certification (reddit comment) if that is true then it might not actually mean anything.
3930k did have unofficial support for pci express 3.
Christian Nguyen
yes this will bottleneck considering PCI 4.0 x4 has a datarate of 7.9 GB/s, but that assumes no DMA and each peripheral acts as a switch.
Noah Clark
>each peripheral acts as a switch what i meant to say was each PROM21 acts as a PCIe switch.

Its new ps/2

Chipset doesn't mean shit when motherboard vendors don't implement anything in a sane manner or even expose all the lanes available from the chipset
Andrew Long
They are only decent with CPUs thanks to intel not getting their shit together.
He misses the point. Zen to this point has allowed desktop and server to reuse the same CCD's. That reduces development time and cost significantly. WIth that said, the current package isn't ideal for desktop, Zen 5 will be designed with specific layouts specific to all markets. Desktop will still be chiplet, but with far tighter integration, unifying the L3 across multiple compute dies and connecting the IO via advanced packaging for far higher FCLK and lower latency. Mobile SoC's will progress into high efficiency chiplet forms. Server is rather simple.

Out of my 12 USB ports, the only thing that *needs* USB 3.0 is my oculus quest.
James Gutierrez
Massive cope.
Dylan Morgan
There are also situations where USB3 won't work so you will need legacy 2.0
Jason Butler
No, it's just clearly out of your price range. Buy a B650.
Carson Russell
So what are the actual numbers regarding bottlenecking here?
