X99 is good step up for anyone looking to make a step up from consumer hardware for building out the next level of Homelab/NAS/VM/Media server.

I waiting for us to get GB amounts of cache on consumer chips like is starting to show up in enterprise/server chips.

That will be useful.

I could see Nvidia releasing both 24GB and 36GB cards at the top, but charging a large premium for the extra VRAM similar to how Apple does for extra RAM above base.

The BOM difference on 24GB to 30GB, even for new product like GDDR7 should be less than $50 easy, but I can see Nvidia adding $300+ for the 36GB model for the extra profit.

7500+ pins!!!

How long until they start ‘sandwiching’ the CPU in the socket to have contacts on both sides of the chip?

UE5 feels very next gen.

You’re right it doesn’t run well on current consoles, and you pretty much need the upper end of PC gaming hardware to take advantage of it.

To me it seems like they are getting the tools out there so that when the next gen consoles release in about 4 years or so, there will be day one titles running on UE5, and they should look and perform well.
