PCIe 5.0 cannot do what NVLink does, and NVLink isn’t dead at all.

Exactly, even though Nvidia removed NVLink it’s still a popular card for deep learning coz it’s relatively cheap for small labs.

Really, no RDNA 3 refresh?

Why not go with an Intel Xeon W?

Depends on what you’re benchmarking.

I need more lanes without going Threadripper again. I hope AMD comes up with a new consumer platform with an increased number of PCIe lanes rather sooner than later.

I like to see proper Windows support as well. Is that even coming?

What about compiling code and machine learning? Intel or AMD?

Cinebench? 😴💤💤💤

Of course, they could. Their hardware isn’t that bad; they are closer than anybody else. Their software stack is another story. AMD has been promising to do a better job at that for more than a decade. I don’t really trust their commitment to their software stack anymore. Actually, Intel might overtake them in that regard.
