    I don’t know how relevant the memory ranks with ddr5 are anymore, but this is mostly a question of capacity then.

    And with the current configs you can still get close to 200Gb without paying all too much. Plus, those are the first boards. I don’t think there is anything technically in the chipset itself preventing them from going with more slots, so we will probably see them.

      I think it’s because they want to offer 1 mobo for TRX and WRX sockets, so economic reasons.

      This is idiotic: people wanting a TRX mobo, will have a bit more expensive mobo, and some (many?) people/entreprise will go epyc/intel because those can’t even have more RAM than the 5995wx.

      I’ll be upgrading from 128go to 512 on a 5995wx for my thesis. 128go came from an intel from 2013. In France, there is no epyc genoa workstation tower, they came from america and have restricted warranty to there. The future will be underperforming and expensive intel… If they don’t fix that shit, or, we will have to resort to lenovo and dell and pay extra to avoid a downgrade.

      When you buy a machine that cost 500 000 or more, 10 000- 30 000 $ to treat data shouldn’t be a problem (and it’s not regarding the amount they spent on 12c intel).
